Nan Vining Mysteries
review 1: This was really a silly book, so formulaic. The heroine, Nan, is a wounded detective that is hard edge and on a mission to find the psychopath who almost killed her. She calls him T.B. Mann (the bad man), and he is obsessed with women police officers who kill others in the line of duty. Nan’s partner Jim, is touch and tender as Nan is hard assed. It is preposterous that Nan would let her daughter be apart of the danger. There is some interesting background on the Chinese gangs in LA, and even though it is all predictable, I still liked the main characters and was glad that Emley didn’t spend too much story on a crazy story explaining the sociopath
review 2: This isn't the final installment of the series, but it does bring to an electrifying conclusion t
... morehe story line running through the first three books that began when Pasadena homicide detective Nan Vining was very nearly knifed to death by an extremely twisted serial killer. Don't worry, this is not just another serial-killer story. The quality of the writing, the compelling characterization, the vivid portrayal of the Pasadena setting, the fast pace and unrelenting suspense, the psychological depth and subtlety, and the shocking, unexpected revelations in the final confrontation between Nan and the psychopathic killer make this an outstanding and most satisfying read. less
