Richard Christie Mystery

review 1: When Cassie Price, a young & beautiful paralegal, is found murdered in her Pittsburgh home, all signs point to Cal Hathaway as the killer. He is the neighborhood handyman, worked on Cassie's house and found her body. This should be case closed for Detective Christie & his team. But, when details emerge about Cassie's affair with Mike Connelly, a married lawyer at her firm who is pondering a run for governor, they realize that there is more to this case than meets the eye. The reader finds out early on who the killer is, so that is not what keeps you hooked. The enjoyment of this police procedural comes from the fully-realized characters and suspenseful plotting. We are along for the ride while the detectives dig up new evidence, come to eye-opening conclusions and stakeout... more suspects. Fans of George will recognize Detectives Christie, Greer, Dolan and Potocki from her previous novels and first-time George readers will want to go back and learn more.
review 2: This was the first Kathleen George book I have read and I feel like if I had started from the beginning and gotten to know the characters better I would have enjoyed the book more, having said that does not mean I didn't enjoy it because I did.It was a great police procedural. We pretty much knew from the beginning who the murderer was but we didn't know who else might become a victim, and how the other characters were involved. Diligent police work and asking the right questions and team work from the murder squad got the job done.I really enjoyed the characters but I felt like I was missing something in their interactions. I will definitely go back and read the previous books in the series and I look forward to learning more about each of the detectives. less
