Double Homicide

I did enjoy both novels, but I must admit that they are just good reads for a doctor's waiting room, an airplane, etc. I did like the Boston story a little better, primarily because I could identify with the female officer's concern for her children. She reminded me very much of Lt. Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson on Law & Order), and, in fact, I visualized her that way. The denouement was a surprise and yet it was not unfair in the least. The Santa Fe story turned me off a little because of Michael Weems' art. I cannot believe the choice of subjects. I wasn't as fond of the detectives in this story either. However, as I said, the books are fast reading and good for passing time when you're stuck waiting.

I think, perhaps the Kellerman‘s are trying out some new detective pairs for a new series that they want to write together. Both of these stories were more about the detectives solving the crime than the actual crime. Which is the MO of the Kellerman‘s. The problem here is that they spent so much time trying to flesh out the detectives, there’s very little time spent on a crime. it’s more like oh by the way here’s who did it The End
