Sunset Express

Sunset Express (1996) Robert Crais

Synopsis:

A woman is found murdered, and her husband becomes the immediate suspect. However, when he hires a celebrity lawyer to defend him, stories start appearing in the case, and Elvis is hired to see if any of those hole in the case are real.

And in the middle of this, Lucy, who Elvis has been seeing for awhile, comes into town on business, so Elvis has to juggle an increasingly confusing and complex case, as well as an increasingly complex love life. (Only that makes it sounds like Lucy is really horrible, and she totally isn’t.)

I actually quite liked the way this mystery came together, as well as the in-depth look of Elvis’ relationship with Lucy and Ben.
Rating: 8/10
