About book The Pallbearers (2010)

Pretty good. I am a fan of the Shane Scully series and really enjoyed this one as it had the usual elements (police procedures, Shane's unique take on things, action). But it did not have a common problem with other Shane Scully novels--a decent plot which in the third act becomes way too complicated. Some may find parts of the novel slow, lots of personal introspection about his childhood, but overall a pretty good read. Another great book in the Shane Scully series. Scully has been asked to look into the death of a man who basically raised him when he was abandoned by his parents. He and five others from the group home were asked to be "Pop"'s pallbearers at his funeral. What follows is an investigation with a lot of questions, resistance, and other impediments that only Scully and his wife Alexa can tangle with. A good read for sure.
