review 1: As a first effort this novel is interesting and has enough mystery and action to be worth a read but it shows the rough edges. Since the protagonist is a federal judge, the actual crime-solving is limited and consists mainly of gleaning info from other characters and newspapers stories. That does create a bit of dullness to the story but Capri manages to pull off the mystery in spite of this limitation. The characters need more flesh and while some readers may enjoy the descriptions of Tampa society life and what people are wearing and such, I found it tedious. More time spent on character development would be nice.Since there have been several novels since this I assume the quality has improved and I may check out the next book in the series. As a fan of Sue Grafton and I... morean Rankin, this book falls far short but I am willing to see what develops.
review 2: Good first book in a series about Judge Willa Carson in Tampa, Florida.First sentencesI GREW UP OUTSIDE Detroit, where the weak were killed and eaten. Still are. Every morning during my high school years, my clock radio blasted me awake with morning news: Five men killed last night in Cass Corridor. Two hundred homicides this year. Like sports statistics, only bloodier. Somehow it never occurred to me to change the station. Even so, murder was far removed from my suburban life. Eventually I moved to Tampa for sunny charm, Southern hospitality, smiling grocery clerks, polite neighbors, small-town feel.Capri, Diane (2012-11-11).
