But hey, I added another series to my "Don't Have to Read this Series" list. Haha. The characters weren't too likeable, the police work/plot was shoddy at best. No thanks. ( ) Synopsis: Sara and young Patrick are living outside of DC and Kerney misses them both. While they are apart, he has decided to buy some horses for the ranch. While doing this rather pleasant task, he discovers the man in the next room has died. This death leads him on the trail of a dead enlisted man, drug trafficking, and, of course, murder. Review: This is one of McGarrity's better offerings. The continued evolution of the characters is lending depth to the stories. The latest in McGarrity's Kevin Kearny series broadens locales to include California and Virgina as well as New Mexico. The story is satisfying in many respects -- it speaks to the challenges of long-distance marriage and parenthood, of multi-state law enforcement cooperation, and of tying up the loose ends in a case. To its credit, there are some ends left loose. On the downside, the motive for the primary crime is a bit thin, and in the secondary story line obstacles are rather glibly overcome through Kearny's relationship to highly placed people. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Santa Fe Police Chief Kevin Kerney travels to a California ranch looking to buy some prime quarter horse breeding stock. Instead, he finds himself the prime suspect in a possible homicide when the ranch owner, Clifford Spalding, is found dead. Confronted by a determined cop unwilling to let him off the hook, Kerney decides to conduct his own investigation. As he digs into the victim's background, he learns that Spalding's ex-wife refuses to believe that her son, a soldier killed in Vietnam some thirty years ago, is dead. Kerney digs deeper and soon finds himself sharing the woman's doubts: Did Spalding's current wife, a much younger woman, orchestrate his murder with the help of a lover? Did a California cop collude with Spalding to keep his ex-wife from learning the truth about her son? Slow Kill races from West Coast to East Coast, as Kerney tries to extricate himself from a situation that could ruin his career by finding the answers to a thirty-year-old mystery. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
