I got accustomed to Hansen's style so the second book was easier for me to read. His characterization is precise as a scalpel - you can at times hear Dave's sarcasm dripping from the pages. I also like Dave's two sides - one, relentless investigator and two, man willing to compromise in order to make his relationship work. Great stuff. ...more

I can't understand why Hansen wasn't more known during his lifetime, or now. He is a real master.

Another captivating book in one of my favourite detective novel series. The mystery part kept me guessing till the end, but it was the portrayal of Dave's relationship with Doug, and the way they both struggle with coping with ghosts from their respective past, which inevitably affect their commitment to each other, what intrigued me the most.

Just as good the second time around and I LOVE the audiobooks! The narrator is superb and does such a wonderful job with all of the voices.
Such a human story.
Such a human story.
Joseph Hansen wrote interesting stories with superb skill. His characters rise slowly from the pages and surround the reader dragging one into the world he has created. His descriptive phrases are almost poetry. This book is no exception. It is mystery and a tale of human emotions. Everyone says the others are charmers and nice, but someone not so nice killed. A complex mystery unfolds for Dave Brandstetter, the no nonsense detective, to solve while trying to solve his own personal relationship.

Double treble guessing! Excellent mystery.

I can't put my finger on why the structure/style bothered me in this and not in the previous book. All those parts of speech fulfilling other roles. After a while what seemed really clever just wears one down.
