FROM MY MIND'S EYE:

Dead Wrong is a short novella that reads like a full length novel.   It is well plotted and executed by one of my favorite authors, Stacy Green.   I was leary because I like a book I can sink my teeth into and stay with for a while, but this story had the feel of the real deal.

The angst of the main character came through loud and clear as he reacted to his mother's illness, his father's pain and the murder scene which totally implicated his dear mother's involvement.   There is much to be said for a seasoned cop's gut instincts.

Many times when I read a novella, I feel the ending is rushed, but not in this case.   The story flowed smoothly straight to the end and was a very enjoyable read.

I rated this a 5 Wink read!
