Though the central story centers around the death of a senator's son, the biggest mystery at any point of this novel is what Ned will do next. Not only are characters constantly getting the rug pulled out from under them, but the reader too, is often blindsided by relationships that Ned has made—shrewdly omitted from the narrative until the vital moment it deemed fit to be revealed.
It's exciting, sure. But also playful and blasé at the same time (because it's Ned we're following around the entire time, after all). I'm not sure I would have ever picked this book up on my own, but it's sure got character, and never edged on boring. Try it, or whatever. Ned Beaumont couldn't care less—no matter what kind of loyalties were held in the past.
