This thriller-crime novel sounds like it is well-written and gripping where the reader's curiosity is maintained from beginning to the end. Great review!

I'm a life-long fan of the crime fiction genre, so I'm anxious to unravel the truth behind Peter's execution for a crime he did not commit. Will the unlikely duo made of Detective Sanchez and Father Montero solve the mystery? Count me in to find out. Thanks for your review!

A perfectly planned crime that didn't go according to plan is a great ingredient for a great thriller. The author seems to have done a great job with this novel.
Thank you for the insightful review.

A crime thriller with plot twists is very engaging. I also wonder how jealousy was interwoven into the mix. Thanks for the interesting review!

Thanks for the insightful review! I do enjoy crime thrillers, but I don't enjoy crude language. I realize sometimes authors use it to make the narrative in a book more realistic, but I am uncomfortable with the language of today. I appreciate you mentioning it in your review! :tiphat:

Nothing like a good ole yarn to pass away a Sunday afternoon in a hammock. I'm pleased to hear that the novel offers multiple facets of complexity. Nothing better than discovering an author who can provide a network of twists and turns that make a good mystery into a fun read. Nice work in being awarded BOTD!

An Imperfect Crime by Fred G. Baker seems to be my type of book and I'm curious to know the details of the truth that the three young friends uncovered. Good review.

Such a layered story-telling in the book makes it worth the read for me. I'm already growing curious about what really transpired to cause Peter's death. Thankfully, your review fed my curiosity to the point where I have to read it. Sounds really great. Great job!
