review 1: "She could smell it in the pillow as she pulled it closer. On the sheets as she rolled over in the darkness and searched out cool spots that were not there. Murder season." I love a great beginning like this one! I also love a good suspense novel with a female lead who takes charge and doesn't apologize for what she must do. This is the case with Detective Lena Gamble as she investigates what looks like a simple revenge murder, but quickly becomes much more complicated. Her search for the truth is hindered by the D.A. and fellow police officers who don't want to look bad. In the end, I never saw it coming (but that's nothing new for me.) I can't wait to read more about Detective Gamble in Robert Ellis's other novels.
review 2: Robert Ellis tells an interesting ... morestory about murders involving the high and mighty, but sometimes his writing gets high and flighty. The book begins: "She could smell it on the pillow...murder season....Murder season would come early this year. It would roll in with the heat like they were best friends." And it goes on: "Murder season. trouble ahead. When the streets get hot, business burns." Fortunately this cheesy writing then hides itself behind Ellis' editors, and the story gets underway. Layers of new evidence are unpeeled, and then, when we finally think we know who the killer is, the man who lives for murder season, Ellis decides to throw caution to the wind and end his story with a conclusion that takes first place in cheesy endings. less
