In this gripping story, Detective Johnny Walker is assigned to a case where tracking the murderer is truly a mystery. It all started when the wrong priest was murdered during confession. From that point on, Johnny made sure he was on top of things, quickly working to track down the murderer. Johnny isn’t perfect, and because of this, he sabotaged himself, creating unnecessary problems where none were needed. Yet, with his quick thinking, he was able to get the job done.

This was a fun read, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was fast-paced but perfectly timed. Johnny had his faults, and that made him real. It was also what made the story fun for me. I also couldn’t figure out who the murderer was and was surprised when it was revealed. This was a well-written story.

Who should read this book: If you enjoy a murder mystery with a twist and some dark humor, this one will hit the spot.
