A Very Simple Crime
A Very Simple Crime introduces Grant Jenkins, a riveting new voice in crime-fiction.
A murdered woman. A grieving husband. And their son—a mentally handicapped adult with a history of violent outbursts. An open-and-shut case. Or is it?
Assistant D.A. Leo Hewitt was once blamed for setting free a notorious child-killer, and he sees this case as a way to redeem himself. But as he digs below the surface, he discovers more than he ever anticipated—including an emotionally disturbed wife, a husband who'd do anything to escape his disastrous marriage and an accused young man with no apparent means of defense. And with each shocking revelation, Leo plunges ever deeper into an inescapable trap of blood bonds and twisted family secrets.

It was so easy to put this book down! The "stories" within the "story" were more enjoyable the the base story. The story line about the smashed up /tires slashed left my hanging. Who was to be the main character, Leo or Adam? For such a short novel, it took me longer to read than War and Peace.
