Title: A strong first effort
Product review: Okay. I figured out who set up/betrayed the murder victim less than halfway through the book. (Smith loses a star because he didn't fool me.) However, Smith kept me guessing how and why all the way to the last chapter. This is a great first effort for a mystery writer. FBI Agent Sterling Bledsoe is a believable sleuth. Add the scandal and intrigue of university life and the environmental twist (even though it felt a little like The Pelican Briefs), and you have a book with enough compelling characters, hidden motives and twists and turns for a very satisfying read. I look forward to following Agent Bledsoe's future exploits. Bravo.
