Passionless Prosecution,
By
This review is from: Defiance County (Mass Market Paperback)
Author Jay Brandon sends state prosecutor Kelsey Thatch into the murky enclave of Galilee, deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, to pinch hit for local DA Morgan Fletcher, who's got a major conflict of interest--his brother Billy's been indicted for a double murder. This is a whodunit and armchair sleuths too easily focus on Morgan instead of Billy. And that's without the aid of the Texas Ranger assigned to help Kelsey with the investigation. He only shows up long enough to say he can't stay. (A Texas Ranger derelict in his duty? Unbelievable!) Apparently, Brandon forgets about the Ranger to bring on a local deputy as his surrogate and Kelsey's romantic interest. To find the facts, Kelsey struggles with the social labyrinth of the inbred East Texas town. The plot twists become fairly predictable and the story never catches fire. In the end the reader really doesn't care what happens to any of them.
