I'm not particularly a fan of racing but I am a fan of unsolved mysteries and with this one, Rick Rothermel has written a good one...that is not only interesting but also one that mystery fans can get their teeth into. I let my husband, the retired cop, read the book and even though the reading of anything isn't exactly his cuppa tea...he had pencil and paper and was actually taking notes on the unsolved murder. I haven't seen any suspicious looking folks running around in handcuffs, so I don't believe he solved it...but it certainly wasn't from lack of trying. The book was well written, and it was very easy to follow the case even if you are just an amateur sleuth. I liked the story enough that I might give some of this author's other writings a try...and I know my hubby is going to recommend this one to his cop pals. Congrats to this author...he got my husband to actually read an entire book!!!! ( )
