Review: Good Third Novel
Rating: 3 out of 5

This the third of Patrick Hurley's novels, and I've read all three.  Michael Gallagher is a detective in Athens, Georgia who's called in on the case of the assassination of the governor of Georgia, a much loved woman.  Somehow, things don't quite add up; the governor's husband is missing, as is her twin sister and niece, and the shooter isn't talking.  Every witness to whom Gallagher talks seems to end up dead, and someone goes after Gallagher a couple of times.  Fast paced and well organized.I also have to say that in his first novel in particular, Mr. Hurley very much needed an editor to correct typographic, formatting and grammatical errors; he seems to have resolved those issues.  He is a promising new author.
