Ready for the Defense Mike Langan WhoooDoo Mysteries ISBN: 978-1-932695-70-0 Fiction, Mystery, Political Intrigue Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

The media is going to have a field day with this. It seems that Senator Victoria Sterling’s election campaign included an illegal contribution of $50,000 from PEACE (People for the Education of Arabic Children Everywhere), a group suspected of being a front for a middle-eastern terrorists organization. Being as the senator has been short-listed for the director position of the CIA, it’s just a matter of time before the information comes out.

The plot thickens. Someone attempts to kill the senator. All of the key players in the act either feign ignorance or they’ve mysteriously disappeared. Who is framing the senator and how does this tie-in with the newest super bug?

Ready for the Defense feels like a true crime novel. Being as the author was a lawyer, I expected the behind the crime scenes to be true to life, which they were. What I didn’t expect was that the characters were going to be so well fashioned, including smooth dialogue that fit each individual, well developed background stories for each person, and characters that actually grew with and were affected by the story. Add to this a story that is timely and extremely well integrated.
