Book Review: Good Mystery
Summary: 3 Stars
Hammond Cross, an up and coming Assistant DA destined for lead DA, takes some time off to think about his personal life and goals. Seeing a county fair on the side of the freeway, Hamond impulsively stops by to enjoy the sites. While there, he meets a beautiful stranger that he instantly connects w/ that results in a one night stand. The only clue to the mysterious stranger's identity is on the re-dial of his phone the next morning.
After his weekend fling, Hammond, is possesed w/ the need to find the identity of his stranger and whether she was married or not. Unfortunately, his big break at becoming the head prosecuter is unveiled and curtails his personal research into the stranger.
A well known wealthy celebrity is killed, Hammond is charged w/ the lead in the trial case. There is plenty of motivation to kill the man from many of his aquaintances, including his mysterious stranger who might not be as much of a stranger than he knows.
I did like the suspensful plot, and was frankly surprised at who the murder was at the end, so the mystery was well written. I did find the story to drag often when the point of view changed to too many different characters. I did not find any of the other characters engaging enough to want to understand things from their point of view. I was really only interested in Hammond Cross's point of view.
I would probably rate this book around a 3.5. Good Mystery, but not really worth a re-read or keep. I will try Sandra Brown's other fiction if this is the style of good plotting she can consistenly write.
