Book Reviews of Diagnosis Murder #6: The Dead Letter
Book Review: Doc Sloan searches for a missing, possibly murdered, man
Summary: 4 Stars
Mark Sloan receives an interesting package in the mail. It seems that Sloan's noble streak impressed sleazeball private invesitgator Nick Stryker. Stryker had been blackmailing more than a few people that he had been hired to get dirt on. Although the slimy practice made him rich, it also put his life at risk. If something were to happen to him, then Sloan would get the package. Well, something has happened...but is it murder?
Lee Goldberg has crafted a fun adventure for Sloan to undertake, one that is filled with plenty of in-jokes, both personal (Goldberg has a bit of fun with his real life mishap in a McDonald's parking lot) as well as pop culture. The Shield gets parodied and there is a truly inspired riff on all those suave James Bond movies. The Dead Letter also brings back characters from previous DM books, notably The Death Merchant and The Shooting Script. In less than six books, the Diagnosis Murder spin-offs have matured into an excellent series of entertaining mystery novels. Worthwhile reading for mystery buffs, highly recommended.
