This was a completely solid book. Perfect length for a mystery. The ending (the four boys in the picture--including Andy's father, were involved in a crime as 22 year olds) was not surprising, but that was okay. The connection to present day events--daughter of crime victim digging into the past, so she needs to be dealt with--was also not in the least bit shocking. But I much prefer that to mysteries where the solution comes from deep left field.
Book made me laugh out loud a number of times. Main character was well-developed. Smart, smart-alecky, a little irritating. Women (wife, mistress) were both believable. Dog didn't play much of a role, and that was also okay. Willie, the falsely accused murderer, was a sympathetic, believable character, as were the various lawyers and cops. A great summer read, and definitely an author I'd read again.
