Customer Reviews

Murder, family secrets, love affairs . . .

What more could you ask for in a mystery? This is the only William Pease book I have read, but it won't be the last. This story had well-developed characters and a plot that was different and certainly more involved than the usual "legal thriller." I will admit that there were times that I wondered where the author was headed, but just as quickly as my interest waned, my attention was snapped back and I was reading with peaked curiousity. Although Mr. Pease may not be a household name (yet) I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading his other works.

in pursuit of the truth.

When the police investigate the murder of Marian Avery, everyone suspects the husband of the crime. Everyone except Detective Christine Boland. Overriding the objections of her colleagues, fracturing her friendships, Christine stakes everything, with fatal results. In this stunning work, William Pease provides strong dialogue, nice plot, and downright pizzazz. While his forte may be the law, being a former US attorney, he excels in the psychological. Even by the last page, the reader will be fumbling for answers. The Rage of Innocence is simply a superb work.
