They Tell Me You Are Wicked by David Hagerty is a good political crime thriller. It's the first book in the Duncan Cochran series. I found it to be engaging. There are some twists and turns that I was not so sure about but they ended up working well. I did guess the "who done it" before the big reveal though. It did not make the book any less enjoyable though. The characters were believable and well developed. Some were likable while others were just ok. I found some of the decisions made by the main character to be interesting and others were clearly wrong...though not surprising in politics. I would recommend They Tell Me You are Wicked to others especially those who enjoy political crime thrillers.

very different from my usual reads!
the book provided an interesting insight into the corruptness of american politics from the perspective of someone who ordinarily would not be extremely affected by the decisions or lack thereof from politicians. however, with the murder of his daughter, he (albeit for personal reasons) obtains an urgency to win the election so as to receive justice for his daughter.
the murder mystery portion was gripping and had me enthralled right until the very end.
