Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Milk and Honey is a book wherein our hero, Peter Decker, learns how to be a friend and forgive himself for his Viet Nam decisions. Four stars were awarded to this book. ( ) Ugh. I was already getting irritated with some things about this series, mainly a clunky writing style and an overuse of the "grittiness" of LA. I continued on to this book because I wanted some resolution in the romance plot, but this book convinced me that the author's treatment of gender and race is just so obnoxious that I'm not going to bother sticking around, and that any resolution in the romance plot would be unsatisfying to me anyway. Also, I was expecting that a series of mysteries known as the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus mysteries would involve both characters in solving the mysteries. Instead, it seems like Decker does all the solving, and Rina Lazarus serves as muse/love interest/source of conflict. Yes, there are other women involved in crime-solving, but Decker is really the POV character and by halfway through this book, I had realized that I didn't like him or his point of view. YMMV. Während sich seine Freundin Rina Lazarus in New York Gedanken über seinen Heiratsantrag macht, entdeckt Pete Decker vom Los Angeles Police Department ein zweijähriges Kind am Straßenrand. Es ist unverletzt, aber sein Pyjama ist blutbefleckt, und es wirkt vollkommen verstört. Decker nimmt sich seiner an und macht sich auf die fieberhafte Suche nach den Eltern. Als Rina aus New York zurückkehrt, steckt er bereits mitten in einem haarsträubenden Fall. Denn inzwischen haben sich die Ereignisse überschlagen - Decker ist bei seinen Nachforschungen auf einen brutalen vierfachen Mord gestoßen. Und alles scheint darauf hinzudeuten, dass er einem tödlichen Fall von Blutrache auf der Spur ist. Abschied von Eden steht in der besten amerikanischen Thrillertradition: dichte Atmosphäre, faszinierend tiefgründige Figuren und atemberaubende Spannung.

Pertence a SérieDecker & Lazarus (3)
In the silent pre-dawn city hours -- alone with his thoughts about Rina Lazarus, the woman he loves, three thousand miles away in New York -- LAPD detective Peter Decker finds a small child, abandoned and covered in blood that is not hers. It is a sobering discovery, and a perplexing one, for nobody in the development where she was found steps forward to claim the little girl. Obsessed more deeply by this case than he imagined possible, Decker is determined to follow the scant clues to an answer. But his trail is leading him to a killing ground where four bodies lie still and lifeless. And by the time Rina returns, Peter Decker is already held fast in a sticky mass of hatred, passion, and murder -- in a world where intense sweetness is accompanied by a deadly sting.
