From Booklist
Homicide detective Marti MacAlister from the fictional Chicago suburb of Lincoln Prairie (read Waukegan) returns in the thirteenth installment of the series. Marti and her longtime partner, Matthew "Vik" Jessenovik, split their time between local work and special task-force assignments. There aren't many homicides in their fairly quiet town, which makes it easy for Marti's cranky sergeant to fill her days with pointless busywork. One such seemingly dead-end assignment, trying to identify some 50-year-old bones, suddenly takes on new significance when links are made between it and a high-profile case involving the body of a middle-aged actress washed up in floodwaters. The jewelry missing from her corpse seems to hold the answers, but someone doesn't want Marti and Vik to ask the questions. A welcome new entree in a solid police series (and one of the few featuring a female African American). Recommend this to readers of Paula L. Woods' Charlotte Justice series. Mary Frances Wilkens

Character driven (But they're Sunday drivers)
23. Juni 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Chicago detective Marti MacAlister has a lot on her plate. First an actress turns up dead on a movie set and then skeletal remains surface in a hundred-year old building under renovation. Clues reveal a connection between the two cases.
In addition to the two murder cases, Marti's husband Ben informs her of his disturbing PSA test and she's worried she might lose him. If this isn't enough, the Lieutenant in charge of Marti's precinct has it in for her and does everything she can to be a thorn in the side.
From the first page I became embroiled in this story, but by page 100 the pace had become excruciating and I found myself putting the book down because I was tired of the multitude of characters and subplots. There's Marti and Ben, Sara and Akiro, Vladimir and Nicolae, Delilah and Cornelius, Thomas Newsome and Harriet for starters, then throw in about half a dozen law enforcement personnel and a Lieutenant with job security issues and you end up with more characters than toppings on a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Then you throw in the movie set, DaVinci Code knockoff and cancer themes and you just want the tale to end. The book is only 260 pages long. I loved the relationships between the characters I just wished there were less of them. I loved the way the story ended too with the Lieutenant Nicholson cliffhanger.
