If you like private eye mysteries, and I do, you’ll enjoy this book. Colton Parker, private investigator, was fired from the FBI when he lost his temper and beat up a suspect, giving the guy a strong reason to admit that yes, indeed, he had kidnapped a young girl. Because of his confession the bureau was able to save the child’s life. But Colton still lost his job.

His wife Anna died in a car wreck, and his thirteen-year old daughter is living with her grandparents. Colton is struggling to be a father, without much success. His new private detective agency isn’t exactly overrun with clients and the rent keeps coming due. So when Angie Howe shows up at his office wanting to hire him, she was a welcome sight. 

Billy, Angie’s boyfriend has been arrested for murder and everyone, including his lawyer, thinks he’s guilty. Everyone, except Angie. Although it looks like a lost cause, Colton needs a job, so he agrees to see what he can do. The case takes him deep into the porn industry among other things. Original Sin is full of surprises and will keep you turning the pages. Brandt Dodson comes from a long line of police officers, spanning several generations, and it shows. I enjoyed this one.
