Reviews

[Serra]

Enjoyable book with loveable characters. It takes a little while to build up but easy to read if you are looking for a cosyish mystery.

Five stars

El Paso city, by the Rio Grande.... A police detective novel set in my home town and centered around my former employer. Names were changed of course, El Paso to Las Angeles, Texas and the Las Angeles PD. Having moved away over 20 years ago, I loved visiting the sites that I used to haunt. Ms. Herndon did a great job describing the job of detectives and the inner workings of a police force. I am always happy to read a novel where Police out maneuver politicians! Great description of the people and their culture. She left me craving a huge Mexican combo plate.
