Down Among the Dead Men by Geraldine Evans is the second book in her Rafferty and Llewellyn Police Procedural series. This was a quick read and one that I don’t expect to linger in my mind for any length of time. Rafferty and Llewellyn have not broken through as a team that I want to read a lot about, I actually found the book to be a little tedious.

In this outing they are investigating the death of a woman who had married into a wealthy but very dysfunctional family. Although at first it was suspected that she was a victim of a serial killer, the suspects were soon narrowed down to immediate family members. The book seemed to consist of one interview after another as Rafferty and Llewellyn try to suss out the killer. Along they way Rafferty tends to be quite condescending and rude to his partner but in reality he is really dealing with his own sense of inferiority.

Since the story was very slow moving and the author’s attempts at humor fell flat, I am not sure if I will be continuing on with this series.

I like this series in general, but not so much this title. Not sure if it was just Rafferty, or if the author was having her own discussion with herself about her own ideas, but the lapsed Catholic angst went on far, far too long. And then Abra got whiney because Rafferty hadn't told her about an episode in his recent life before he met her. Actually, not really any of her business, you know. Sometimes author's manipulate their characters a little too much in order to get a story.
I didn't finish this - got to half way - but I will keep it on the kindle and get back to it sometime later. I do want to know 'who did it'. But I will probably skip bits.… (meer)

It is a very enjoyable old fashion murder mystery. There are a few slow parts in it, but is a very easy read without knowing exactly who the actual killer is until almost the end of the book.
