I love the Theodore Boone series, and I just finished reading this book! It's an excellent book, and its main focus is on Peter Duffy, the suspected murderer from the first book. Theodore Boone spots him on a train and wants to bring him to justice, but if he is found out by Duffy, then he may be in huge jeopardy! His life may even be in jeopardy. But Theo will stop at nothing to bring a possible murderer to justice. It is a very good story, and like any suspenseful movie, nail-biting. I would definitely recommend this whole series to anybody!
