Wonderful descriptions of the upper peninsula, and a remarkable first murder mystery. This will teach me to avoid entire genres. ( ) There has always been an uneasy partnership between Sault Ste. Marie police Chief Roy Maven and ex Detroit police officer, reluctent P.I. Alex McKnight. However this time Chief Maven needs Alex to do him a favor, to look into the apparent suicide of his friends son. His friend just wants to know what was running through his son's mind when he tied the knot and hung himself in the small, bleak town of Misery Bay on the shore of Lake Superor. What appears to be a simple request soon turns into a race to catch a ruthless killer. This is the eighth book in this series. New readers will enjoy the book by itself but I urge you to go back and start at the beginning with "Cold Day In Paradise" to better aquaint you with the characters and the storylines. He paints a very accruate picture of Michigan's UP... 18 inches of snow in April? Oh yeah it happens! As for me...I am a huge fan of this series and will be picking up the next book from the libray soon. Oh wait, I already have it. 5 stars for an excellent read as always. Thank you Steve. Alex mcKinight gets asked by police chief Roy maven to help his friend raz interview some students about the suicide of raz's son at misery Bay. This leads Alex into a complex plot of murders made to look like suicides of police officers and their children. An interesting mystery and I liked the michigan setting. AUTHOR: HAMILTON, Steve TITLE: Misery Bay DATE READ: 01/01/16 RATING: 5/A GENRE/PUB DATE/PUBLISHER/# OF PGS Crime Fiction/2011/ St. Martin's Publishing / 294 pgs SERIES/STAND-ALONE: #8 Alex McKnight CHARACTERS AUTHOR: Alex McKnight former Detroit police detective now working as PI in the UP TIME/PLACE: UP/present FIRST LINES " It is the third night of January, 2 hours past midnight, & everyone is in bed except this man." COMMENTS: Good to be back in the UP w/ Alex McKnight. This was a good mystery that kept me wondering. Crimes were brutal but just a little different … police officers were being killed after their child's death -- that appeared to be a suicide. Alex McKnight was always one step ahead of the FBI in sussing out the connections. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
