Three FBI detectives make their way to the beach town of Crescent Beach. They are operating on leads they had received concerning an explosion, which they ruled off as a terrorist attack. On getting to Crescent Beach, they report to the PD annex, where deputy sheriff JP Barnett has been assigned to help them with their investigation. The agents produce a list of suspects, and on the first visit to the suspect, which JP had not willingly agreed to, they discover that the town seems to have a lot of weird characters.

The detective trio, under the lead of Special Agent Williams, finds some behavioral lifestyles strange; an example would be the RC restaurant owner with two personalities. To solve their case and find the "Unsub," the agents would have to get used to the town, its people, its behavior, and its cuisine. Agent Williams, too feels the deputy sheriff, JP, was lackadaisical in enforcing the law. He observes that the sheriff lets some behaviors slide that he feels worth special attention; an example would be the Latina woman, Catalina, who complained of the devil in her home. To get full details on how this case is cracked, I recommend you read The Raven Conspiracy by Michael F. Spratt.

The title of this book perfectly suits it because most of this book occurs around the RC (Raven Conspiracy), a restaurant serving many exciting dishes, as will be seen later in this book. This book belongs to the fictional crime thriller genre. The thirty-three-chapter book supplies its readers with action, beginning exactly when the detective trio arrive at Crescent Beach and ending when they finish their business in the small town. Agent Williams discovered there was more to law enforcement than being uptight; one had to be in tune with the people.

The only thing I didn't fancy about this book was that it centered more on the casual lives of the detectives while in Crescent Beach than the investigation. I had expected to see more detective activity, but I was disappointed. Another was JP's character; I was not too fond of the numerous secrets he kept. He enjoyed sending the FBI agents on wild goose chases as opposed to the agents who shared all their information with him. Apart from that, everything else was in sync. The story was written in a third-person narrative with comprehensible grammar, which I doubt would pose any difficulty to the audience.

The Raven Conspiracy receives 5 out of 5 stars from me. Aside from its exciting plot and unique delivery, I must commend the author on the editing. This book was professionally edited, as I only encountered two minor errors while reading. I recommend this book to audiences interested in crime thrillers, action thrillers, and detective stories.

The thing about law enforcement is that not everything is as it seems. There will always be good and bad guys. And solving a crime has a lot to do with a cop's personality. I guess it's the reason why the author discussed more about their casual lives.

Here was I thinking the Raven Conspiracy will be one big mystery to be unveiled. How would I have known that it was a restaurant. It must have played an important part in the plot.
