"The job seems simple enough: Reporter Lee Hershey needs protection for a couple of weeks as he pursues the biggest story of his career with all eyes on swing state Ohio in the midst of a presidential election. Columbus private eye Andy Hayes, broke as usual, doesn't have much choice but to sign on, even with his girlfriend falling for the charming journalist. Then murder strikes at the Statehouse and Andy finds himself partly responsible for the death. With an innocent man behind bars, a mysterious vehicle following Andy around the city, and more lives in danger, the detective has his hands full trying to solve a killing in a poisonous political environment where everyone has a motive for murder and anyone could be the next target"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I think this 3rd title is the best one so far. I think that is a good thing in that authors and their characters evolve, mature and (hopefully) get better with age and experience.
Andy is still the proverbial smart-ass with a chip on his shoulder, but I think I see a tiny bit of softening around the extreme edges.
This mystery is very complex with many characters and it shows the nasty underbelly of state politics. I am very impressed with Mr. Welsh-Huggins’ ‘sense of place’. He has taken his home town and made it come alive. I can picture the Capitol, German Village, Short North and the Ohio State campus. That is my favorite part of any title - seeing the locale come to life and being a part of it.
Every Ohioan has a sense of Ohio State and their beloved Buckeyes. But they often don’t have a sense of their own capital city of Columbus and its politics. This book and Andy Hayes characterizes both.
There is an Andy Hayes FaceBook page and Andrew Welsh-Huggins maintains a wonderful blog which you might enjoy. Please check them out online.
I really liked this book. (
