    I liked this book until the last few chapters. Too many characters at the end, all involved in murder and drug dealing.

    I really enjoyed this book. People had faults people had Elysses things going on in their lives like real people do. They learned that nothing is as simple as it seems. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars was the simply Because there is no way a human body can go for days on end with no sleep and highly stressful situations. You can’t do that and keep a clear mind. Specially when that isn’t what you do with your day-to-day life normally. It’s one thing if you’re in the service or a police officer firefighter yeah every day is highly stressful but that’s not for everyone. Otherwise like I said I loved this book I was Right there with the judge trying to figure things out his things are going God thinking I had it so then finding out oops not so much. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

    The flow of the writing for most of the book is enjoyable, but the storyline goes completely flat at the end. The facts just don't add up. So for a murder mystery I cannot recommend this book. The judge is a believable character, however, the other character development is seriously lacking. Characters drop in and out and the reader does not really get to understand their purpose in the plot. There were too many plots and subplots. Actually, I never did understand the reasoning for the original murders. And the conclusion was abrupt and not believable.
