THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT - Ed McBain

























This one of the "Matthew Hope" series written by McBain with Hope being a Florida lawyer.

Hope is hired to prove that Ralph Parrish didn't murder his brother.  He is also dealing with surveillance on his business partners  wife who appears to be having an affair.

This book is muddled, way to coincidental even for a crime novel and its tedious, I only finished it as I was on the ferry and it was all I had to hand.  Everybody in the book is unlikable including star of the show.

If you're going to read McBain read his procedural's rather than this series.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
