The ChrisChat Reviews

Talk about walking in someone else’s shoes.

Cleveland Barnes lives under the Key Bridge in Washington, D.C.  The night he steals Benny Batiste’s shoes is the night he’s arrested for decapitating Benny.

Stuart Clay is next up for the CJA defender call.  Cleveland is his new client.  From there Stuart is set for a whole mess of blind corners, multiple players, and nothing will ever be the same.

I am sorry to say, I did not mix with “The Only Pure Thing.”  Maybe I just don’t mix with legal thrillers?  I found the procedural aspects too dry and couldn’t get into the flow of the story’s environment.  Some of the story’s surprises, weren’t.  And others surprises just didn’t work for me.

I believe those who are more partial to legal thrillers, than I am, may find “The Only Pure Thing” to their liking.
