"Scott Finn's past and present collide in a murder investigation with Scott as the prime suspect. The subsequent investigation uncovers corruption, surprise informants, threats, and even a budding love interest. I'll certainly read the next novel by David Hosp."

— LaDonna, 1/3/2014" Romance crime novel with a streak of the grotesque. "
— J, 12/20/2013" This was a good book that I enjoyed reading. I read the second of this series by David Hosp- Innocence, and enjoyed it as well. I'm currently on the list to get the 3rd book in the series from my library. I enjoy books that are fairly easy to read and hold my interest throughout and this was one of those. I also like being able to follow a hero/heroine throughout a series which I'm able to do with Scott FInn. "
— Rita, 12/16/2013" After the last book I read, I needed something fun (as opposed to educational) to read. This book was the answer - a fast-paced murder mystery set in Boston. It reminded me of some of John Grisham's novels. I found it hard to put down once I got started. "
