This story moves along easily and smoothly.  The characters are interesting and the plot never becomes complicated.  Half way into the book it became clear to me who  murdered Max Gentry, a musical genius who once led a famous rock band. Then it only become a matter of reading on to see when Joe Costa, a former member of the band but now a lawyer, would gather enough evidence to convict the murderer.It seemed a bit unlikely to me that Joe Costa, a criminal defense attorney, would be invited into police headquarters to discuss strategy with police hierarchy. One would tend to forget that Joe Costa was a lawyer and not a police detective himself.  He spent little time in court but much time on outside  investigations and was even  given articles of evidence by the police.Nevertheless, there are a enough subplots to round out the main plot and to provide additional interest.  This is an easy read that is fast moving with enough going on to keep the reader absorbed.
