1967. Sheriff Coleman Grundy is called to the scene of a killing. That of Betty Lou Mundy, who he finds dead in her front yard, and her husband, Leland, on the porch with a gun. The gun that probably killed her.
But is all as it seems. The story involves betrayal and secrets within families, with a multitude of well-drawn characters. Can Grundy find the answers before it is too late.
A interesting and well-written crime story

The Closing par Ken Oder

The story held me enough to continue reading, but the writing and plot were disappointing. It is a first novel and it was pretty good considering, but I don't understand the awards and high average rating. I suppose part of my dislike was the tragic story of people making bad choices and suffering along with some terrible people doing terrible things. Even so, I would have rated it higher if the story had been told better. It seemed fragmented and the pieces didn't fit together realistically for me.… (plus d'informations)

The Closing par Ken Oder

The story is about Nate Abbit, a washed out prosecutor, turned defense attorney. His fear of aging, depression- heck, due to his mid-life crisis, he made mistakes that cost him his job and reputation. Add the constant beckoning of alcohol and you have his life in a nutshell. Later he's dropped into a murder case that has so many twists and turns, his head spins! But Nate's known for making his own rules; can he come up with a legal plan to save himself as well as a possibly innocent man?

The Closing is a suspense-filled novel that will leave you guessing on every character you meet. You wonder if the mother, the ex-wife or the dirty cop had anything to do with it- but which it? There's so much dirt and reasons for people to kill that you won't know who to suspect.
