Review: Finally, a Lassiter novel that's properly edited!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have always enjoyed Paul Levine's novels, but some I've enjoyed more than others.  It's not the content to which I'm referring; that has always been great.  Great plots, great character development, great twists and turns.  However, many Levine Kindle books suffer from poor editing.  For example, the one I read immediately prior to Mortal Sin, Night Vision, had no breaks within chapters whatsoever; there were no spaces or wingdings to indicate a change in time or locale.  Consequently I rated it 4 stars because of the many times I had to trace the text back to the logical break point before continuing.But that was a previous book.  This one, besides being properly edited, has one of the most compelling story lines of all the Lassiter novels.  There's the usual flawed woman leading Jake down paths he'd rather not travel.  But one of those paths leads to Jake doing what he has never done before (I won't say exactly what so as not to spoil the surprise for future readers), and the consequences seem irresolvable.  How Lassiter works his way out of his predicament speaks volumes about Levine's powers of imagination as well as his ability to persuade the reader to suspend disbelief.
