Simple Justice (Benjamin Justice Mysteries)

Simple Justice (Benjamin Justice Mystery, Book 1) - John Morgan Wilson This is a completely other universe than Stevenson's. Where Stevenson is witty, fun and smart aleck, Wilson is angsty, dark and cynic. Benjamin Simple is a reporter with a tainted past, who's lost his lover and his reputation. Prone to alcohol, dark mood, melancholy, Simple is brought back into the news world by his ex-boss to help a rookie reporter out. This is the opening book of the Benjamin Simple series set in Los Angeles, West Hollywood. It's dark, it's raw, it's angsty. It's an interesting reading experience and I found myself turning the pages and going one more chapter. It was a nice surprise.
