Title: A Heart Wrenching Tale that Draws the Reader in to Its Moral Dilemmas
Product review: This book is out of print but Amazon still found a copy for me. I picked it up because I liked the author's second book enough to go back and read his first. The important thing to understand is that Brodrick is not writing whodunnits. It is not an action/adventure mystery. No doubt I like his writing because I, too, am a lawyer who sometimes wonders about the spiritual aspects of what I do. Brodrick presents us with difficult moral choices and traces the outcome of decisions. The heros are not always as heroic as we think they are and the bad guys may have redeeming virtues just like in real life, and, like in real life, it is difficult to figure it all out. There is a lot of meandering made necessary by the examination of the moral questions. One of the satisfactions of detective fiction is that the bad guys get caught. That usually happens here too. Only for the morally reflective
