Cameron Winter can figure out situations with his "strange habit of mind, where he uses his logic and his imagination. A former lover, an attorney in an idyllic town comprised of former military men and women, asks him to investigate her client, Travis Blake, a war hero. He supposedly killed his girlfriend while in a jealous rage. As Cameron interviews people related to the case, he pieces together a story that is unbelievable.
Very suspenseful and a surprise ending. I read about this series in the recent World magazine and plan to read the rest of the series soon.
*Highly recommend but see warning. I hope this tendancy does not continue in the rest of the book.
Warning: I did not like how Cameron would remember how it felt to be with his former lover (who was a high schooler when he was intimate with her. . .he was her English teacher) as he interacts with her. This reaction is realistic, but I did not like reading about it. Nothing graphic was included, though. He also imagines what it would be like to be close to another female character in the story. Some mention of his first intimate encounter with a girl when he was a teenager. Again, nothing graphic is included. Because of these inclusions, I would not hand this series to a teenager.
