Summary: An easy-to-take mystery with a crew of quirky characters.
Comment: I enjoyed "Vengeance," mostly because I liked the off-beat characters and the amusing dialogue. The Lew Fonseca character is very funny. Such characters as Lew's cut-rate therapist, the gun-toting sidekick, Lew's alcoholic but warm-hearted friend, Flo, and the computer hacker named Harvey are nicely portrayed. The plot is not particularly realistic or even all that interesting, but this book is worth reading for the droll and fairly strange people that Kaminsky has created.

Summary: After Rosnikov, a disappointment
Comment: After having gone through almost every Rostnikov mystery with great joy, I was eagerly anticipating Kaminsky's new main protaganist, Lew Fonesca. But unfortunately I was disappointed. The characters just weren't that interesting to me, particularly Fonesca. I guess it's because I could identify more with Rostnikov - a sincere guy trying to do the best for himself, his family, and his fellow man. Fonesca, for whatever reason, seems aimless. Rostnikov was also grappling with "the system" whereas Fonesca had essentially dropped out. These observations are applicable to most of the characters in both stories.
The plot, though interesting and entertaining, was dominated by the personalities. And the intricacies and resolution of the plot came too late to have a major effect on how I responded to the book.
Rating: 5
