Stranglehold by Robert Rotenberg ✔✔✔✔✔

This is the fourth crime novel written by Rotenberg, a criminal lawyer himself from Toronto.  I have read them all, and this one is my favorite so far.  Nearly all of the characters are familiar, because they appear in the three previous novels, although the stories are not sequential.

Detective Ari Greene is accused of murder in this particular one, and the victim is another well-known character from the previous novels.

Fast-paced, many references to familiar spots in Toronto ( this one centers on a motel on Kingston Road, a very familiar street for us when travelling to David's place), and informative glimpses into the police department and courtroom drama, these are very exciting reads from beginning to end.

I can't say enough about the quality of these novels.  I read this  one in three days - couldn't put it down!
