About this ebook
Rich and powerful men are being targeted by a killer in this mystery with “a gripping plot” (Richmond Times-Dispatch).
Men are dying in Chicago. Not ordinary men, but rich men, powerful men, men who control the city. They are being murdered, quietly, skillfully. And Dek Elstrom’s former father-in-law, a major player in everything Chicago, seems likely to become one of them.
Amanda, Dek’s ex-wife, pleads with him to investigate. He doesn’t want this case, but he finally gives in—because that’s what he always does with Amanda. Then he discovers that Amanda’s father is lying. Now Dek just has to figure out exactly what he’s lying about, and why . . .
“Dek Elstrom is the kind of guy we genuinely like spending time with.” —Booklist
“An investigator with a seductive one-two punch—a delectably smart mouth and a delightfully nimble brain.” —William Kent Krueger
“With a gripping plot and a quirky but determined hero, The Confessors’ Club represents another fine effort from an author who excels at every requirement of the genre—and then some.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great read. A well constructed mystery with likeable characters and minimal violence. I get fed up with authors who seem to delight in blood and gore. Hard to put down so I will look for the next book in the series.
