Reviews

[Denise Spicer]

This book in the Conan Flagg series is set in a fictional version of Lincoln City, OR. Conan’s friend (and at one time, possible love interest) Corey Benbow dies in a seemingly accidental death. But she was part of a pro-environmental group seeking to save coastal land from the evil development folks, including her in-laws, so something seems wrong to Conan who avenges her death with a vigilant search for justice.

[Phil]

We can't pin the killer until the very end... good storytelling.

[Helen Fleischer]

rough justice

[Cindy]

This was a slow burn. I didn't relate to the characters and the pace was less then exciting. I did like the ending and the last chapter was the best in the book.

[Rebecca]

I must admit to skip reading through this one.
