"Enough Rope" by P.L. Doss is an enthralling murder mystery set in Atlanta. Let me start by saying that it is an exceptional debut that becomes more and more complex as the evidence builds and the tale unfolds. The story is written in the third person perspective and alternates between high-profile Atlanta attorney Tom Halloran and Hollis Joplin, the medical examiner's investigator.
During his early-morning jog, Tom Halloran finds a body dressed in women’s clothes hanging from a tree in Piedmont Park. He is shocked to see that the deceased is his friend and colleague, Elliot Carter. Hollis Joplin, the medical examiner's investigator, is called to the lurid scene and declares it an accidental death. He believes that Carter was a victim of a deviant practice called autoerotic asphyxia, which is difficult to fake. Halloran insists …show more content…
As Halloran and Joplin each begin a separate investigation into the mysterious deaths, they plunge into a whirlpool of intrigue, suspense, and danger.

There's nothing I like more than a good whodunit, and this one fit the bill perfectly with mysterious deaths, intrigue, family secrets, and red herrings aplenty to keep the pages turning. The author throws a curve ball at us right and left and I never would have suspected the killer Every time I thought I have got it figured out, another piece of the puzzle came along and changed the whole
