"Murder on the Naval Base" has all the elements of a successful novel. It shows a great career graph of an ambitious youth who started from a humble background and reached the pinnacles of success. yet luck had him connected to the wrong types of people as he is cheated by two of the most important people in his life- his best friend and his lovely wife. Charles comes from a powerful background and is infinitely charming and sexy, but he lacks the skills and motivations of his friend. Charles is also unscrupulous and conniving, though his end is a bit tragic. Bevin O'Hara reminds us of another O'Hara of "Gone with the Wind" fame and is as beautiful, fiery, ambitious, unscrupulous, greedy, attention seeker and clever as the heroine of the famous book.Anderson is convicted of a crime that he has not committed but all evidences stand against him. However, God seems to help him as he is provided with a top lawyer, Mr. Alpine to defend his case. With little to help him, Alpine has to dig hard to prove the innocence of his client. The book makes the reader eager to know if Anderson gets justice or not. Moreover, they also want to know the identity of the real murderer and the person who is helping the hero behind the scene.The story moves back and forth in timeline, yet we are able to follow the exact chronology of time. The book is fast paced and covers a number of events in a natural flowing manner. The principle characters are well formed. All in all a truly wonderful suspense novel.
