Chis Sherrill’s first book is a page turner that has many twists and turns. I enjoyed the Nashville setting and the protagonist. I am surprised this is Chris’ first book.

I really enjoyed this book! Sherrill’s attention to detail is marvelous, his descriptions of Nashville atmospheric. Brought back fond memories of James Lee Burke. Well paced with great characters and plenty of plot twists. Looking forward to his next mystery!
