Too Short a Grip

I picked up this book because the author attended Baylor University. My son graduated from Baylor, and I would have overlapped with the author if I'd accepted my offer of admission. I know - not the most solid reason to listen.

I found this book very compelling. The problem: At three and a half hours, it was far too short. I want a mystery to last between eight and 10 hours. Shorten it and I don't feel that I've truly absorbed the story. The author writes well, develops the characters decently (though not deeply enough), and provides interesting action. Just too little depth and length.

Here's hoping that we see more and longer books by J. L. Phillips.

a great read

The timeliness and detail are still current. interesting Intrigue with politicians. Will make a great movie.
