These first chapters are well constructed and set the stage for diverse types and levels of intrigue. I look forward to reading more.

Loving chapter one so far! Where the characterization is good, it is so good, maybe perfect... where it's not so good, that makes it more disappointing. Grisham's third line seems a little off (the traveling 'r' is great, though), and Montoya seems to be getting easier to mess with.

That's the worst I can manage - I adore so far, can't wait to see more about brother Pedro and the creampuff.
