Nan Vining Mysteries

review 1: Mistakenly purchased this download thinking it was the first book in the Julian Kestrel series. It's not. Rich in detail about the LA area -- too rich. I don't really need to know what highway exit was taken, and whether the character turned left or right. I did enjoy the descriptions of the Salton Sea. The plot just seemed kind of pointless, there's no big mystery, and the main character is still obsessing at the end of this book over the bad man (i.e. T.B. Mann) who attacked her in the first book.
review 2: Synopsis: The crime scene was like something out of a horror movie. Billboard tycoon Oliver Mercer has been brutally slain in his home in the Pasadena hills, joined in death by his long-legged trophy girlfriend-both of their bodies displayed in a chilling... more tableau. The murder scene reawakens terrible memories for homicide detective Nan Vining, who survived her own harrowing attack a year earlier. While tracking the taunting gameplayer her daughter Emily dubbed T. B. Mann-The Bad Man-she is now working the Mercer case alongside her ex-flame Jim Kissick, stirring up conflicted feelings in her. From the ritzy estates of L.A.'s Lamborghini-driving set to a rocky desert outpost where rattlesnakes whisper murder, Nan will risk both her badge and her heart on a case that cuts close to the bone. Book 2. Enjoy the characters flaws and all, but I can't attach to Nan. less
