Haughton Murphy

First off I want to thank the author publisher and Netgalley for my copy of this book. I love a good Mystery, and this was so well written and easy to fallow. The case made this a page turner. The characters were well thought out and I LOVED the wife she was smart and witty. I think when everything is so tight nit it makes the story so much more enjoyable. All and all great book.
