Fiction by Debra Webb
Charlie Holmes is a murderer sitting on death row, but he's one of the famous ones that get fan mail because of his high-profile victim, a millionaire record executive. That's why he gets attention when he announces that he wants to change his story. He says his girlfriend, the victim's daughter, actually was the killer and he confessed to protect her.
This smells like bull to everyone, but will certainly sell newspapers and generate legal fees, so his lawyer runs with it. Now investigator Finley O'Sullivan is assigned to find out what the real truth is. She works for the lawyer representing the victim's family, and therefore his daughters and wife.
This was an exciting story that kept you guessing; however it really pushed the boundary of believability to me. I wasn't really satisfied with the solution and the character's motivations. Still, it mostly held my attention. It's the beginning of a series featuring Finely O' Sullivan.
