Input:
I would give this book a 3.5 star rating if that was a choice. I think Dale Roberts is a promising author. I liked his characters especially Alex Mendez and his daughter. I thought the plot was good too with some suspenseful parts, but I was able to figure out "who done it" when I was only 42% finished with the book (which I thought was a bit early for a police mystery).

I liked the idea of his dead wife speaking to him and giving him advice. It reminded me of the show The Gifted Man that aired last season.

I know it's hard to catch all errors in spelling/grammar when writing, but there were many in this story that could have been fixed.

With all this being said, I would read another book by Dale Roberts.
