The tension builds steadily throughout this book but is particularly strong in the closing segments as all the events come together. Some of these are surprising so hard to guess from just book #1.As we enter book #2 we go back to the crime scene of eleven years ago which brought Larry Durrant to death row in the first place. This went some way to explaining what happened, but since Durrant himself can't clearly recall everything due to a car accident 4 months after the murder during a 'robbery gone wrong', his guilt might be in question. Except that there's irrefutable DNA evidence and a witness, so it's not looking good for Larry.I won't say more about this cleverly constructed plot so as not to give away too much. It's also something of a tear-jerker, particularly how Larry has become lost to his own family, his wife and young son, and by turn very funny too. Some of the prison quips were classics, especially Roddy's 'You are what you eat' and some of the nicknames, such as BC: 'Bling Crosby'.Five-star entertainment all the way, really enjoyed this book.
