Necessary Deeds by Mark Wish

5.0

Talk about a real page turner. Mark Wish has delivered a fun, compact, noir-ish whodunnit that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. Matt Connell, a successful (former) NYC literary agent, is sprung from prison by the FBI to help them in their search for a serial killer focusing on young authors with big advances. Matt's insights into the book publishing world may help them catch the killer before he or she strikes again. Along the way we get Matt's backstory of why he was imprisoned, his take on the current state of NYC publishing, his clandestine meetings with the FBI to discuss the case, and maybe even a new love interest.

I liked all the characters and I miss them already. Hopefully Wish will continue this as a series: Matt Connell, double agent (FBI and literary).
