Book Review: A disappointment for Faye Kellerman fans
Summary: 2 Stars
I have long been a fan of Faye Kellerman's Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus mysteries, and I looked forward to reading this new one -- but it really disappointed me. Not only is the plot pretty weak (2 not-very-gripping murders solved with very little real detection work), but Kellerman spends far too much time in the sordid world and thoughts of Chris Donatti and his girlfriend Terry, two extremely unappealing characters, and not enough time in the world and thoughts of her detectives. Also, Peter and Rina in this book seem mere shadows of their usual selves, showing little of the deeply felt moral sense that made them so appealing in earlier books. And the writing is sloppy, too -- in three different chapters, Kellerman describes a lake or pond in the rain as looking like "pitted silver", a repetition that she or an editor should have caught. I hope her next book is better -- it's clear from the ending to this one that she plans to bring Donatti back again and keep him in her detectives' lives, but I hope she changes her mind.
