This was an excellent story with the suspense and mystery building throughout.  The main character, Moretz's editor who narrates the story, is well drawn.  He's cynical yet has a great sense of humor.  Other major characters including Moretz remain just enough of an enigma to keep you guessing.  Nicholson's writing is excellent blending dialogue, action, and narrative in the right proportions to keep the story moving and the reader engaged.Some of the minor characters, especially the police chief, lean toward being caricatures.  This in itself is not necessarily that bad, but it leaves very few viable suspects.  Despite this I was still kept wondering whodunit.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.**
