Review by Orizon -- An Imperfect Crime by Fred G. Baker
[Following is a volunteer review of "An Imperfect Crime" by Fred G. Baker.]
Have you ever thought about something so perfectly, then after a while, you are left wondering how things went awry? An Imperfect Crime by Fred G. Baker is one book that offers the reader such mystery. The book, which contains 253 pages and 28 chapters, tells how three friends are caught between mysterious and violent crimes.
Peter Simpson hangs out with his friend, Allister Brown, and they both talk about how none of their writings have ever been published. Allister comes up with a crazy idea of creating a perfect murder without actually committing a crime. This would create great publicity, and their books would finally start getting published. As crazy as the idea sounded, Allister, Peter, and Allister’s girlfriend, Sarah Parker, actually saw the plan through. A year later, Peter Simpson sits in a cell awaiting execution for the murder of his friend, Allister Brown. Peter claims the whole event was planned, but only a priest, Father Guillermo Montero, and Detective Lori Sanchez seem to think something is off. Read this book to find out how Detective Lori Sanchez and Father Guillermo Montero investigate this case and uncover more intriguing facts.
An Imperfect Crime is one of a kind. It’s been a very long time since I read something that took away my attention from everything else. The book contained suspense, mystery, lots of action, and several surprising twists. At first, I thought the author had made colossal mistakes that would dissuade the readers from finishing the book, but I was awed as I read on. The suspense was killing me as I couldn’t wait to find out how the Berkeley missing person case was connected to Allister’s murder case, or how the gunrunning case of the Sinaloa Cartel fitted into the storyline. At a point, I wondered if the author took criminology classes because the way the investigations were detailed shows that the book was well-researched.
There is nothing to dislike about this book. The plot was very realistic, and the author painted a vivid picture in the readers' minds. The scenes were well-developed and detailed; I'm sure that this book would be ideal for a movie adaptation. The characters used in the book were also well-developed. My favorite character in the book is Detective Sanchez; she demonstrated great strength and intelligence.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I found no error in the book; this shows that it was professionally edited. I loved how the book ended, it left the readers with something to think about, and it also paved the way for the production of a sequel to the book. I would very much like to read Desert Sanctuary, the next book proposed for a possible series. I recommend this book to lovers of stories associated with crime and mystery.
