Tami Hoag is a bestselling author, but Prior Bad Acts was my first experience with one of her novels. I was not disappointed. This book is a mystery with great character development and a gripping plot, that had enough suspense to keep the reader guessing.
A heinous crime has been committed. The police have their man and everyone wants to see him go to jail. In fact, many think jail is too good for him after what he did to a mother and her two children. But when a judge rules that his prior record is inadmissible, she is attacked and a chain of events occurs that the police can barely contain. The lead detectives on the case are stumped about who could have attacked her, because there are just too many suspects, and the dirt they uncover as they try to follow the clues unravels the judge's personal life. The judge's life seems to be in danger and there appears to be more than one mad man on the loose. Time is running out for those involved to solve this crime.
Quickly paced action and a riveting plot make this novel a page turner. Throw in the character development that has you rooting for the lead detective and sympathetic toward the judge, and this book is a winner. An excellent weekend read. I will seek out other Tami Hoag titles.
Happy Reading!
