This story was a fine read, though certainly not in my favorite list. It had a nice flow and it really never lagged. My problems with it though came from the main characters relationship. For me there was no chemistry. I couldn't see how a lawyer would be all that interested in not only an  ex con but also someone who hadn't finished high school. I mean, what do they even talk about?  At one part of the story this 40 year old lawyer and 27 year old ex con were discussing their high school years. It didn't seem practical to me and grasping. The only thing the ex con could talk about was gardening, lattes, and high school. There was nothing pointing to mutual interest except the sex and since I couldn't fit them together in my head, the sex didn't go anywhere with me.  Now if they were just having sex and a complete focus on their attraction, them maybe. But there were complete sections of them just talking. Hmmm. About what?  No direct mention about what. The author couldn't even come up with anything except for one point mentioning that they talked about high school. Hmmmm. Yeah. It. Didn't. Work.Then there was the sections about the law and crime fighting. There was a judge, A JUDGE, who rolled over on his Miranda rights and talked. What judge who knows the law would do that?  That was just one example. There were many many instances where I'm like, I don't think that can happen. For instance, can someone seriously be sent to jail without a trial, without testimony, without anything?  The key witnesses weren't even all questioned. I mean,I know that there are situations where the system doesn't work but one without even a trial over the death of the son of a judge?  And the media wouldn't be interested in any of that?Yeah, so this story was ok. I won't be rereading it. But it did hold my interest as long as I kept myself distant enough not to be annoyed by the aspects that didn't add up.  I don't think it was worth the money I paid for it though. But what can you do?  Oh well.
