I LOVE that book! That is one of my favorites of 2017! I would put it in my Top Five for sure! Did you love it too?

The good parts were really good and the characters were expertly done. As I said in my review, though, it was pretty slow at the beginning. Also, although there were two big surprises that I didn't expect, much of the resolution became predictable about midway through the book. I still really enjoyed it but those points were what kept me from assigning it five stars as I was tempted to do.

I apologize I did not read your review. I was so excited someone had read it that I immediately commented.

No apology necessary. I'm glad that you were excited and even in the review I never said whether or not I loved it.

Tom Mathews | 1001 comments I just finished reading an ARC of Gods of Howl Mountain, Taylor Brown's next book. It's his best yet.

Even though I hadn't read him previously, I had no trouble jumping in with this book. Strikes me as similar to Greg Iles in style.

This political novel, written in the 1940s, is just as relevant today as when it was published. The story is about a governor who'd do anything to get his way - including bullying, bribery, and blackmail. Along the way he betrays his family and corrupts a good man. Excellent book. 4 stars

Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 556 comments And it resulted in a great movie in the 1940s, All the King's Men, as well. (Starring Broderick Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge, it won Best Picture for 1949, as well as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress.)

There was also a remake of the movie, with Sean Penn, Jude Law, and Kate Winslet. I don't think it did that well at the box office.

Attorney Nina Reilly defends her ex-boyfriend when he's accused of murdering a filmmaker (who happens to be his former wife.) Lots of good courtroom scenes. 3 stars
