Interesting spin on police /homicide story with a PhD student finding historical links to current unsolved crimes in LA, USA. ( )
  ElizabethCromb | Sep 11, 2021 |
This was my first Kellerman book, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I don’t know if any of the characters have a back story. Even so I found them believable and complex with some flaws. I prefer my characters real as opposed to heroic. They had flaws but were interesting and likable or unlikable in some cases. Another Petra Connor story would be of interest to me.

The Los Angeles settings were painted descriptively and thoroughly without excess verbosity. I can picture them clearly in my mind. I think I most enjoyed the scenes in the precinct house with the interactions of different police staff.

In my opinion the plot did not stray into implausibility. The finale was satisfying and not overly tidy. I expect I will be reading Kellerman again. ( )

Well, I finished this. For some reason I had set it aside some time ago (audio) and forgot I was listening to it. Unlike most of the Kellerman series it doesn't feature Alex Delaware and his friend Milo, rather Detective Petra Connor and Eric, her erstwhile lover, who apparently walks on water. The show stealer is Isaac, a PhD candidate interning with the police department, who, through diligent research and a hell of a randy librarian, manages to find the connection between the killer and his victims. Perhaps a bit tenuous connection in my book, but way to whittle away the time. ( )

A year has passed since the Cold Heart murders and Detective Petra Connor is, once again, working Hollywood Homicide solo. She has just solved three gang-related killings and is feeling pretty good about herself – about life in general – when Isaac Gomez waltzes into her office and tells her he's found something she might want to take a look at. A twenty-two-year-old prodigy researching a Ph.D. in sociology, Isaac has gained access to LAPD case files. But while combing the files, the brilliant young man has come upon a series of apparently unrelated murders all committed shortly after midnight on the exact same date: June 28. Can this be purely coincidence? As Petra 's curiosity leads her to investigate further, she becomes convinced that something evil has managed to conceal itself within the dry pages of the cold-case files. Killings so diabolical and meticulously constructed that they would have remained invisible but for the probing mind of a young, naive genius. To make matters worse, June 28 is only a month away…

A fine novel. Interesting plot, not too over the top. Kellerman writes a story centered on Petra Connor, the Hollywood homicide detective from Billy Straight and A cold heart. The secondary characters are well rounded and somewhat unpredictable. We are reintroduced to Eric Stahl, who's become attached to the anti terrorist unit and no longer partnered with Petra but has become her long distance lover.

Kellerman also created a character that could have been the ultimate Marty Sue but somewhat isn't. Isaac Gomez is a young genius from an immigrant family who at 22 is finishing up his Ph. D. with a internship at the Hollywood police station looking thru old cases and trying to find patterns. And he does. A serial killer that only kills on June 28th. It's a page turner.

There's a librarian character that, well, it does break some stereotypes but probably creates others. Do you really think a librarian would jump a poor younger student in the library? I don't know. It's fun to read about a librarian that's not all frumpy and prim but going to the other extreme is also not really what I find interesting. But the character was a competent librarian. Horny but competent. ( )
