“Matheny
has the unique ability to walk the reader through the rigorous steps of a
criminal case from the initial
arrest through to the trial process in his tense psychological legal thriller, The Victim.” https://walkerputsche.wordpress.com/
The story opens eleven years earlier as a
young and reckless Anton Mackey makes a life changing decision to get behind
the wheel of a car after consuming a large amount of whiskey. Instead of doing
the right thing and reporting his horrifying crime to the authorities, he
decides to destroy the evidence and walk away, unaware that his mistake will
come back to haunt ten years later when he takes on a complex case that is tied up to his past.
The Victim is a gritty standalone legal thriller featuring
well-developed characters, intricate and melodramatic plot lines that I found
absolutely riveting from start to finish.
Disclosure: I received this book free from
the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of
the book or the
content of my review.
