Accused was by far the best of these 3 stories and while interesting, Homicidal seemed to veer off topic about 1/2 way then getting back to Franklin.

I really enjoyed this book. It's 3 separate stories, all interesting. The second story troubled me greatly, and made me very angry. It's well told, and easy to read.
