Airtight by David Rosenfelt
4.0
This was a book club pick and first time I’d read anything by David Rosenfelt. Two thumbs up! Although is started a bit slow, once the kidnapping happened, the ticking time clock was established, and the tension increased ten-fold.
Basic premise (if to refresh my memory, if anything) Judge who is days away from being confirmed onto the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is murdered. The local detectives, along with the FBI are investigating. When an anonymous call comes into the local PD, it sets off a chain of events that will include more murder and a coverup. A drug addict, Steven Gallagher, is implicated in the murder, but his brother (Chris), knows Steven is many things but a killer is not one of them. To ensure Steven is proven innocent, Chris takes his own form of justice and the lives of the Somers brothers and the Gallagher brothers become intertwined. Oh yea, there’s political intrigue. It’s this political greed that lit the fuse that finally designates the bomb. Oh my….so good.
The short chapters, the multiple points of views, and the puzzle of where everyone and everything fit had me on the edge of my seat. There’s a death towards the end that really surprised me and then I had to keep reading as I hadn’t expected the story to take this particular twist.
Yep, it was good!
