Lincoln hasn't been out of rehab for a day before he gets caught up in a brand new case, and this time he's got a famous client to deal with. A comedian is found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot, but some of his friends think this isn't a simple suicide. It's up to Lincoln and another, beautiful private investigator to dig into the case and uncover the truth about this funny man's final day.Meanwhile, Bentley's struggling to come to grips with the pedophilia ring he stumbled upon. He's determined to do whatever it takes to put an end to the worst criminals he's ever encountered. However, it won't take long before his vigilante justice takes him and his friends down a dark road that they'll never be able to recover from.
Another fantastic entry on the Lincoln Pierce series. The characters all jump off the page in ways that keep me reading. There were several moments where I had to take a break because Darcy's battle with cancer got pretty heavy, rightfully so. Lincoln's case kind of takes a back seat to Bentley's in terms of dramatic narrative, but after the intense finales of the previous two stories I think he needed the break. I look forward to reading more entries in what's become a favorite series from A.R. Wise.
This the third book in the Lincoln Pierce Mystery series. I would suggest starting with book one, Never Coming Home in order to understand what this series is about up to now. This is not just about Lincoln Pierce who is a Private Investigator, but also about the man himself and his family and what they had gone through in their lives. In this book we do learn so much more about the main characters, Lincoln, his ex-wife Ellen, his daughter Darcy and Bentley who works for Lincoln. The pace of this book is much slower than the first two and doesn’t contain as much action, but is definitely a great addition to the series and also very emotional. AR Wise, with his writing will have you wanting more when you get to the end. This is definitely a series I recommend to everyone.
I've never come across an AR Wise book that I didn't love, but this one was exceptional in that it made me cry bucket loads of tears due to one scene; I won't spoil it, but I really loved the raw emotion and honesty in this particular scene and it'll stay with me forever.
