For some reason, I just cannot connect with the main character in this series. ( )

A very quick read, but a little too neatly wrapped up. Mitchum has to find out who killed a drug dealer, and determine if his brother did it. ( )

Mitchum returns, along with his brother, Natty, the local drug dealer. When Petey, another drug dealer, is murdered, Natty becomes the prime suspect. Since the word on the street is that Natty and the victim’s wife are involved, it isn’t long before he finds himself facing a murder charge. Mitchum steps in to find the real killer and to clear his brother’s name.

As with the first Mitchum story, this BookShots tale brings back most of the characters from “Hidden,” adds a few new faces, and delivers a first-rate plot-twisting tale. The final reveal promises to be an unexpected surprise for readers.
