     It's good to be on an author's mailing list.  I received an email asking if I'd like a free audiobook.  You know me- FREE is my middle name!  Yup, Alyssa Free Hunt, so I accepted and was given the code to purchase The Closing, by Ken Oder.  I haven't read a legal suspense thriller before, ever!  I'm not into politics or courtroom cases; I'd always left that for movies and Forensic Files, but when I got the book for free, I figured I could try it out.  
I'm so happy I did..      Friday, I headed outdoors to pull weeds and trim the hedges while the guys cut the lawn.  I popped The Closing in my ears and I went at it from 8am to almost two o'clock!  I'd already started it the night before, but by the time my share of the yard work was done, I was practically finished with the book.  It was so good, I listened from start to finish!

     The story is about Nate Abbit, a washed out prosecutor, turned defense attorney.  His fear of aging, depression- heck, due to his mid-life crisis, he made mistakes that cost him his job and reputation.  Add the constant beckoning of alcohol and you have his life in a nutshell.  Later he's dropped into a murder case that has so many twists and turns, his head spins!  But Nate's known for making his own rules; can he come up with a legal plan to save himself as well as a possibly innocent man?

     The Closing is a suspense-filled novel that will leave you guessing on every character you meet.  You wonder if the mother, the ex-wife or the dirty cop had anything to do with it- but which it?  There's so much dirt and reasons for people to kill that you won't know who to suspect.  It was very entertaining and I loved every minute from it.  Peep The Closing by Ken Oder.  I'm on to a sci-fi tale!.
