Old City Hall - Robert Rotenberg
This book was exactly what I needed, having come off the reading of two fairly literary novels. I need a rousing page turner and this book delivered. The book is set in Toronto and is about a sensationalized murder trial. The host of a CBC radio program has confessed and been charged with the murder of his partner. The interesting part of this book is that nothing is quite what it seems, and you tag along as the officers attempt to construct what actually happened. The characters in this book are all very likable, which adds to the story--you enjoy going on a journey with Detective Green, Officer Kennicott, Nancy Parish, and Albert Fernandez. I also enjoyed the setting, bringing back recollections of times that I've spent in Toronto. Perfect for someone wanting an intelligent, readable book.
5/5 Stars
