Ever read a really good book that you wish would become a feature-length Hollywood movie? Or, a television series, because you wanted to see the main characters in more of their adventures?Loose Ends, by David B. Watts, is that book. I read it today in one sitting. It left me full of time well spent, yet hungry for more.
Loosely based on an actual case, solved by a real-life private investigator, it’s a multiple murder mystery set in New Jersey.
Geographically, it’s all true. You can almost smell the exhaust coming from the trucks on Route 22, in Union County; see the plushness of a wealthy defense lawyer’s conference room; hear the gasps in the courtroom as the surprise ending unfolds. This read creates a mental movie as the eyes pull the words off the pages.
Total verisimilitude, especially when it comes to private investigations, attorneys, police, prosecutors, and the courtroom.
If you are at loose ends for a great read, yes, tie up with Loose Ends.
