Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In a stunning debut thriller reminiscent of the work of David Baldacci, a young Boston lawyer becomes the chief suspect in the murder of a colleague. Scott Finn, rising star at a Boston law firm, has worked hard to pull himself out of the Charleston projects.When the body of his co-worker and old flame, Natalie Caldwell, floats to the surface of Boston Harbor, Finn is grief stricken. But almost immediately, he's tapped by the firm to replace her in the defense of a high-profile client. As he retraces Natalie's footsteps, Finn begins to unravel the awful mystery of her murder. But police lieutenant Linda Flaherty is also hot on the trail. What neither Finn nor Flaherty realize is what's at stake if the truth is uncovered: billions of dollars, the careers of the Massachusetts elite, and their own survival.

God knows I tried to read this book but after 120 pages, I gave up. It got SO boring my mind kept wandering so I gave up. How sad. It had a very promising beginning but just bogged down. I think there was too much plot for this first-time writer or something. Whatever, I would never slog though another book by this author. Some lawyers need to stay in court and stop writing!

This novel was filled with cliche characters and scenes, but I liked the local Boston flavor, and it did keep my interest. I think that Hosp is a good writer who paces his novels well. This story kept my interest. It was a good, light summer read. If you're looking for a reason to NOT like a mystery, I expect you might find some, but if you want to get absorbed in a fun, well written mystery, I recommend this.

In DARK HABOR, David Hosp's writing style is very much like James Grippando. His main character, Scott Finn, rising star at a Boston law firm, has worked hard to pull himself out of the Charleston projects where he grew up.
When the body of his co-worker and old flame, Natalie Caldwell, is discovered floating in the Boston Harbor, Finn is looking to be the likely suspect. Though the police don't have enough for an arrest, police lieutenant Linda Flaherty and her partner have Finn at the top of their suspect list. With the evidence mounting, Finn is left to solve the mystery of Nat's murder. Finn uses his firm's resources which put him and the people helping him in danger. What Finn uncovers connect political officials with organized crime.
What I loved best about this book? The author's writing style. I loved his portrayal of the characters as well.
What I like least? The beginning was a bit slow. I wanted to see more action.

Listened to the audio book and for the past 1.5 years, I've listened to one a week. And this one is at or near the top of my list. Very well done. Great characters and dialogue. Hard to put down. I'm looking forward to listening to Hosp's subsequent book. Dark Harbor was excellent!!

When John Grisham introduced us to Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a Memphis tax boutique controlled by the Mafia, the idea of an in-house firm for the mob was hilarious. These days no one, least of all our hero Scott Finn, is particularly sure that organized crime doesn't just control the firm, but also the governor's office, the US Attorneys Office and the Boston PD.
Finn, who worked and fought his way out of the streets of Southie to the thick-pile carpets of Boston's Brahmin legal establishment, finds himself back among the thugs and characters of the world he thought he left behind. When a fellow associate and friend with benefits is killed by a copycat killer seeking to emulate "Little Jack" who was terrorizing the city Finn is drawn into the fray, where he acquits himself brilliantly while maintaining his place on the partnership track.
Finn even finds a new love interest in the cop who is trying, though not very hard, to put him away. And a childhood friend proves an invaluable ally as Finn attempts to clear himself and clean up the city in the process.
If it seems over the top, it is. But it is good fun too.
