Summary: Enjoyable read
Comment: I grabbed this book from a limited selection at an airport newsstand, not being terribly familiar with the author, but needing something to help distract me from a four-hour flight. The author manages to integrate several story lines and does a nice job of mixing mystery, a little romance, as well as some humor. It was one of those "have to finish it" books as opposed to the many half-read titles on my book shelf. It was easy to picture the people and places in my mind - almost like reading the script of a screenplay.
Was it the best book I've ever read? Nope. But it was entertaining and will probably be enjoyed by others as well.
Rating: 1
Summary: Related or Illiterate
Comment: Skip this one. Anyone who finds any part of this book even remotely believable is either related to the author or cannot read. His bumbling St. Louis police force is ridiculous.

Summary: In the shadow of Joe's amazing hunches.
Comment: The main character, Joe Keough, does very little (if any) actual detective work in this rather tepid novel.
Amazingly, both the multiple murder investigation and the events surrounding little Brady Sanders manage to solve themselves with minimal input from Detective Keough. Joe is simply there to act on his outlandish hunches and pick up all the credit. This comes even at the cost of a fellow officer. But hey, it was the one detective on the force that all the men and women didn't really care for anyway, so what's the big deal, right?
In reality, all Joe Keough has in this story are his hunches. He even goes so far as to tell this to his superiors and the FBI.
The supporting cast of officers are ineffectual, as is the story's villain. It is for these reasons that I cannot in good conscience recommend this novel.
