4.5

A quick, enjoyable read. Interesting to read a mystery novel not from the perspective of a detective but from the perspective of a drunk, reclusive, semi-retired lawyer who would rather not be dragged into all this, but is forced to actually acknowledge the real world exists after a murder occurs in his house. Easy to read.
