Summary: The House Sitter by Peter Lovesey
Comment: This was my first Lovesey book, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I truly liked it. Although the book dragged a little in places, it kept me captivated enough to take notes and really try to figure out who had committed the murder. Lovesey got me! This was a great read and definitely has given me the desire to get my hands on more of his books!

Summary: Diamond dazzles
Comment: Peter Diamond, still recovering from his wife's murder the year before, is brought into investigate the death of a young woman found dead on the beach after it was established the young woman was from Diamond's district of Bath. Henrietta Mallin is the original senior-investigating officer in charge of the investigation. In an intertwining mystery, a crossbow wielding serial killer known as " The Mariner" (due to leaving clues from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner") is targeting a known list of celebrities.

This is the eight in the Peter Diamond series. I love how with each subsequent book, Diamond's character has developed. Bringing in Hen Mallin is a new catalyst to Diamond's personality. Diamond and Mallin, are both strong personalities must learn to work together. The story was intricately plotted with many twists along the way. My only complaint is that it dragged a bit in the middle of the book. Lovesey has written another winner.

Summary: The House Sitter hits the Bullseye!!
Comment: This is the first Lovesey/Peter Diamond book that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed the story! I finished it in a couple of evenings and really couldn't put it down.
The story had many plot twists and excellent character development and was very satisfying for this avid British mystery reader. I will leave it to others to give an overview of the story and plot development. I will be back reading Mr. Loveseys' other titles in the "Diamond" series starting with "Diamond Dust". Do yourself a favor and crack this book for a Good Read.
