This is one of a series featuring detective Fiona Fitzgerald, of whom I was unaware. Now that I have found her courtesy of Netgalley, I'll be seeking additional work of Mr. Adler. Good development of plot and characters along with believable action make this a good police procedural read. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to experience the new character and author. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Adam Burns, Washington Post columnist and controversial Presidential critic, is dead. With no clear circumstance, speculation, gossip and rumor flood the media-accident, suicide or murder? Conspiracy theories run amok, accusing none other than the President of the United States of America. Was Adam Burns the target of a government hit squad? Did someone decide to silence his diatribes once and for all? Fiona Fitzgerald, unlikely hero in Washington D.C.'s blue-collar, predominately male police force, is entrusted with unraveling Burns' death. Born into the elite social circles of the nation's capital, and with privileged access to what lurks behind the pristine facade of the political establishment, Fiona is determined to expose the chicanery buried under prim rosebushes and concealed within the ceaseless Washington Masquerade. Days roar by-Pressure mounts-Clues mislead-Intuition betrays. Can Fiona clear the President's name? Is she prepared for the truth? Is one woman enough to stop a nation out for blood? Washington Masquerade is the 8th book in Adler's Fiona Fitzgerald Mystery series No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Sergeant Fiona Fitzgerald, homicide detective in D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department, gets the hot potato of investigating this death, even as Washington explodes with rumor, scandal, and conspiracy theory, attributing the death to a hit ordered by the President or someone inside his administration.
Eight books in is not necessarily the best place to start reading a mystery series, but Adler provides enough background that I didn't have difficulty hooking in to the current story. It may have helped that in this book, Fiona is breaking in a new partner, Izzy. The character development is excellent, and no one here is a cartoon or stick figure stuck in to fill a role.
Adler keeps the balls in the air very effectively, and only very briefly, near the end, did I find myself saying, "Why don't they look at...?" It's a very brief lapse, as Fiona and Izzy do notice what they briefly missed. Altogether, a nicely engaging mystery with characters worth spending the time with.
Recommended.
I received a free electronic galley from the publisher via NetGalley. ( )
