Well, honestly treated but not really a story "that takes guts"

In this novel we find not a tortured character, but very human. Racked with pain and indecision, Michael Bennett is never safe from a bad decision or an unfortunate word. This very human side, very practical, is one of the great strength of character.

The rest of his family, "smala", their nanny and his father, form a pleasant and cozy setting. It is sometimes difficult to be among the ten children but the warm atmosphere is welcoming. In parallel to this family life "ideal" Michael can not deny her attraction to Mary Catherine, her nanny, the one that turns the house. Yet it is not immune to clumsiness and may well lose it. What is amazing is that we have a conscious character of his attachment, which does not seek false excuses, and yet can not seem to find the right words at the right time. Again this helps to enhance the credibility of the whole.

The investigation on it is far-reaching. This section deals with a crime godfather with long teeth and hungry for blood. Unable to drop the case, even if he wanted, Michael will risk the lives of his family against his will.

Here we see how the lives of justice (cops, lawyers or prosecutors) is difficult: to reconcile his thirst for justice with the safety of others is not easy, and many sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Death lurks ready and there will be a lot of blood before the end of this story. This novel does not end also the last page is turned, on the contrary, if a lot of elements find their conclusion, many others are pending. A film with a nice "continued ..." at the last second. However this is not a high-voltage final frustrates the author. This is brought smoothly and is a logical with the foregoing.

Overall we find once again a novel proper treatment and pleasant to read. Nothing donating or who takes guts, but enjoy reading that makes you want to know more without frustrating the duty reader wait.
