Louis Kincaid

review 1: A bit of a stretch of the imagination ... alright to read but, in my opinion, not one of the best from PJ ParrishA headless corpse turns up in Palm Beach and suspicion quickly turns on local 'walker' Reggie. Enter Louis Kincaid along with sidekick Mel to investigate. Soon after, another headless young man appears and the killer is creeping ever closer, ever more dangerous as past crimes also begin to come to light
review 2: THE LITTLE DEATH by P.J. ParrishThis turned out to be my favorite in Parrish’s Louis Kincaid series to date. The sisters (P.J. Parrish is actually two women) have brought Louis out of his semi-professional brooding and schlepping around anywhere from northern Michigan to south Florida trying to be a private investigator when he’d rathe... morer be a cop and in the meantime, he wasn’t very good at detecting. He always solved the case, but it seemed to be accidentally in a near disaster that almost cost someone dearly. In this Louis must have stopped at the PI’s supply store and bought a gallon of gumption. He’s much more assertive, more professional, and more cop-like. Louis and partner Mel travel to Palm Beach where they try to clear Mel’s friend of a brutal murder. There are plenty of mega-rich types who will not tell the truth and implicate who the real killer is, but the pair try and work around this wall of golden silence. I have to gig the Parrish sisters for demanding too much of my suspension of disbelief. Mel’s friend, Reggie, is held too long without arraignment or benefit of council on a charge that didn’t come close to the detective having a reasonable cause to believe he committed any crime, much less a capital murder. The reality should have been tightened up. And the structure of why and how and who did what amounts to multiple homicides was a tad convoluted. Possible, but . . .eh, maybe not. 3.5 stars. less
