Book Review: A Vengeful Truth

Title: A Vengeful Truth

Author: Eric Godfrey

Publisher: Eric Godfrey

Quote: "Why would anyone think to murder them in cold blood?"

Hmm. Because they were rich? This detective story hardly calls for Sherlock Holmes. The nice, rich couple had an embarrassing secret. It will be solved by what Chris, a psychologist asked to help the police detective, sees in a single scene. What Chris sees is not hard evidence; it's one of those snap judgments people make when they think with their eyes. 

I prefer stories that call attention to how often the conclusions to which eye thinkers leap are wrong, but if you don't mind a story where the eye thinker is right, as they sometimes are, you might enjoy this short mystery.
