Lewis Cole # 10
Storm Cell by
Brendan DuBois finds Lewis Cole under pressure to prove Felix Tinos is
innocent of murder charges. It is the very highly recommended 10th
thriller in the Lewis Cole series.
Felix is on trial for the murder of
Fletcher Moore and inexplicably is using a sub-par lawyer called
Hollis Spinelli
instead of his long time go-to Boston based attorney
Raymond Drake. Since Lewis is not on Felix's visitor's list he can't
talk to him about it. The evidence seems conclusive on the surface, but
Lewis refuses to believe Felix is guilty. Things become more odd when
two FBI agents approach Cole and tell him if he has to prove Felix is
innocent or Felix will be murdered in prison. Then, when Lewis tries to
talk to Spinelli about his defense of Felix, Spinelli sends a tough
young man to convince Lewis to back off. If Lewis had questions before,
this really raises his curiosity, and an inquisitive Lewis is a force to
reckon with.
As
expected, the quality of the writing is exceptional and the plot is
compelling and intriguing. The investigation Lewis undertakes is
engaging and the information he uncovers is intriguing. Part of the
enjoyment is following the investigation and the clues and pieces of
information Lewis uncovers. It's also good to see reoccurring characters
from the series make an appearance in the narrative.
The Lewis Cole series is an excellent crime
fiction thriller set in New Hampshire that just gets better with every
book. The series is being re-released by Severn River Publishing. Most
of them can be read as stand-alone novels, but your reading experience
will be deeper and more engaging if you follow the series and have more
information about all the characters. Thanks to Severn River Publishing for providing me with an
advance reader's copy via Edelweiss. My review is voluntary and
expresses my honest opinion.
