Milan Jacovich

review 1: Once a Milan Jacovich fan, always a Milan Jacovich fan. I've read all the Milan books that Les has produced. This is #15. This is a habit instilled upon me by my father-in-law, who enjoyed them just as much. Milan books are easy reads set in Cleveland. As a resident of Cleveland, I enjoy being familiar with the places Milan takes me as he is solving a murder mystery. In this book, an aging Milan picks up an assistant. Hmm - is there a new series in the future???? I am looking forward to the next one, "Whiskey Island."
review 2: Milan Jacovich is back, for the 15th mystery set in the Cleveland area, and is as compelling as ever. In this story, what starts out as a missing persons case gets sticky (of course). Milan is asked to find 28-year-old Earl Dacey ... moreby Dacey's mother. It doesn't take long for Milan to discover that Dacey was into some pretty unsavory things, including taking surreptitious videos up the skirts of schoolgirls at local malls. The private investigator gets entangled with some rather shady characters in the pornography business and manages to make Victor Giamari angry in the process. When Dacey turns up dead, Milan is, surprisingly asked for his assistance by none other than the brusque Lt. McHargue, who's past relationship has been rocky at best. Another twist is the addition of Kevin O'Bannion, who comes on as Milan's assistant at the insistence of a friend and fellow PI. I actually figured out who-dun-it a couple chapters before it was revealed, but there are a lot of twists and red herrings. Also felt sorry for Milan-- just when it seems like his life is in order the pieces once again get shuffled. Even when he wins he loses. Readers should note that this book touches (in a very astute, professional and non-gratuitous way) some pretty sticky subjects, including child pornography and "crush" films. less
