This was an okay book. I think part of the issue for me was that it is 4th in a series. It was an interesting take on the falsely accused trope that shows up in some thriller books. I enjoyed the fact that the main characters weren't just another officer pairing, and it did take me a bit to figure out who the murderer was. If you want to read these books definitely start with the first book. ( )

Bishop Regan and Davey Goldman set out to heap coals of fire upon the head of the man who was responsible for putting the Bishop into a wheelchair for life; by proving that he didn't commit a murder seven years later.

This is clearly written with Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin in mind. The similarities are countless. To my mind, too similar. If written as an homage, it seems more like a rip off. The author would have done better to come up with a duo on his own because he can write, but in trying to imbue Archie's humor and Wolfe's sarcasm into this team, he misses the mark. The mystery was pretty good, although I would quibble with the motive for the murder. The characters were interesting. ( )
