[b:Deep Waters|186795|Deep Waters|Jayne Ann Krentz|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172536509s/186795.jpg|2197935] is the third in [a:Kate Charles|947|William Shakespeare|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1179017891p2/947.jpg]'s Callie Anson series. I call it the Callie Anson series because the publisher does, but the truly wonderful thing about this series is how Ms. Charles uses changing points of view not only to keep the reader turning pages to find out what's happening to each character, but also to involve us in the lives of a whole ensemble of interconnected people who swirl around Callie, a Church of England curate, and her boyfriend Mark, a Family Liaison Officer with the police. Each character is so individual that this never becomes confusing. The only other author who comes to mind who has done this was [a:Ed McBain|21318|Ed McBain|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1237947166p2/21318.jpg] with his 87th Precinct series, different though that is. In [b:Deep Waters|186795|Deep Waters|Jayne Ann Krentz|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172536509s/186795.jpg|2197935], the two criminal cases are related through the main characters who are dealing with them, but also because celebrity -- and specifically the celebrity created by reality-TV shows -- is an important factor in each. I'm sure one could poke holes in the plots, but it didn't matter to me as a reader because the characterization was so good and the social commentary so insightful. Although these books feature a clergy sleuth and an ongoing love story, I wouldn't call them "cozy" -- the keen eye Charles casts on contemporary society takes them out of that category. Highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieCallie Anson (3)
"In a culture obsessed with celebrity, baby Muffin's death is big news. Crib death? Or something more sinister? Everyone wants to know, including the police. Whatever the truth, the bereaved parents--celebrity couple Jodee and Chazz--live in curate Callie Anson's London parish, and Callie becomes involved with funeral arrangements, despite the disapproval of her vicar and his wife. Detective Inspector Neville Stewart is recalled from his honeymoon to investigate the case--with disastrous personal results. And journalist Lilith Noone's professional future is on the line, as she is sucked more and more deeply into her own flirtation with celebrity culture. Meanwhile, for police family liaison officer Mark Lombardi, the death of baby Muffin is eclipsed by another death, much closer to home, and he finds himself in an impossible position, torn between his loyalty to his family and his growing love for Callie."--Amazon.com product description.

Enjoyable main story but the sub-plots involved what seemed to me unlikely behaviour. I'm looking at you, Neville Stewart. ( )
