My Review:
This is a book #2 in a series and it doesn't disappoint, the mystery and suspense is present throughout. Not only politics but Texas Politics, how fitting for my blog. And boy are the politics more than a little shifty.
Hacker is able to unfold the plot believably while stringing readers along. The characters are well developed and easy to invest in. There is even a touch of romance.
