This is book 4 in the Milan Jacovich mystery series (tho more crime fiction, me thinks.) Roberts really cares about his readers and his characters. Every scene, conversation, scenario is vivid and believable. I want Milan for my uncle, that big, cuddly galoot with a heart of gold. This book was rather evoking, given it's references to the Holocaust and on page 153, I honestly had to stop, compose myself, dry my eyes, before I could continue. I'm positive I will read every book Sir Roberts has written now, he's just that good. I have already purchased the prior editions to the series and will reread this one when it's placement arrives. The Cleveland Connection is another excellent Milan Jacovich mystery. This one starts out with Milan working on a missing persons case, but the story advances into much more. The theme for this book is the Serbians, with Milan often being a Slovenian among the Serbs. I didn't quite predict the ending, but it made sense, so I was satisfied when I was done reading. As usual, lots of Cleveland references, which makes the book extra fun if you know the area, but the book should be good even if you don't. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I did know that Cleveland was once "neighborhoods" but I didn't know all the details between the Serbs, Slovenes, Czechs, etc. I don't know if the atmosphere in Cleveland was truly how Roberts portrays it or if it was somewhat manufactured for the purposes of the plot. I suspect there must be some truth to it or many readers would cry foul! I also didn't know the history of that area around the time of WWII so that was interesting to read (and I appreciated it not being as in depth or dry as a history text would have been.) ( )
