Dom Reilly Mysteries, Book 1

By: Marshall Thornton

Narrated by: Charles Hall

Long Beach, California, 1996. Despite having little obvious experience, bartender Dom Reilly is hired as an investigator for the Freedom Agenda, a not-for-profit justice project. His first case involves a 12-year-old homicide, in which a teenage girl was viciously murdered.

The boy in prison for her murder, Danny Osborne, is seemingly exonerated by DNA evidence, but the authorities refuse to accept it as proof. Dom and his boss, Lydia Gonzales, slowly put together an iron-clad case, one the district attorney can’t ignore. As they do so, each puts themselves at risk—threatening not only their personal reputations, but their lives.

Another excellent mystery from Marshall Thornton

I am a big fan of the author. As his other books, this one has interesting characters and an intriguing story. A pleasure to read/listen to.

That ending!!! So satisfying! 😍😍

Mid 1990’s California mystery novel.
No sex.
Although you know who did the crime, you get the treat of Dom Reilly piecing it all together for you.
And that ending!! What a lovely surprise! (No spoilers).
