Although well written, this book was just underwhelming for me. I liked the main character & was entertained by how much alcohol he consumed through the book but other than that the story just trudged along for me. The MC buys a house that has a tainted past where the wife poisons her husband and is hanged for her crime. The MC becomes immersed in trying to solve if the wife was ever truly guilty. In all just a predictable story with no surprises.
