Meanwhile, Marianne's ex-boyfriend, James Roth, and journalist Walt Jones are searching for her killers, and what they find could derail Beloit's campaign. Lee Beloit's top lieutenant, Juan Garcia, decides it's time for him to act to stop any threats to the campaign once and for all.

[R.K. Emery · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story started off slow but it picked up even if it was a bit convoluted at times.

Overall, a good read while taking a few chapters to hook me, but once it did, I was invested.

The writing was smart and witty at times, which gave it another element.
