I am simply at a loss of words for this book. I love it! I more than love it, and I'm in love with Eddie! (Insert girly scream here).Why the melodrama, you say? You honestly will get the idea when you read it, but to be fair to the review reader, here goes:Eddie Greene is a green bud when it comes to playing private detective, but for all his slapstick view of things, he cannot possibly anticipate to what extent his day can transform into a spontaneously threaded nightmare.The web of dire events start off with the dead body of his first client, a bad decision of interviewing the town Mayor for the case, and pissing off the local crime overlord, Jimmy,  in the process.  Eddie finds himself out of choices, out of money, and Friday night looms into Saturday with the police after his head for murder, and to put the cherry on top, his girlfriend wants him gone from her life forever.Facing a situation where each turn of events leads to desperate and immediate actions in the face of Weighton town's harsh reality, Terry Murphy layers the narrative with suspense and thrill that keeps the reader at the edge of his seat, occasionally making him cringe with the aftershock of a brutal scenario. Eddie is a character whose inner monologue, if nothing else, keeps the story flowing like a rushing vehicle of sarcasm, arrogance and never ending loss of commentary.
