Suspense True Detectives is a story of how Los Angeles detectives actually were able to figure out who murdered two women with no leads. It is somewhat of a sad story in that it deals with desperate people and what they will do to make money or satisfy their drug addictions. It is a good book from the beginning until the end wherein all of the loose ends are neatly tied up. Too bad that life is not always nicely concluded. Four stars were awarded in this book review. Kellerman should stick with Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis. Hired to solve a "cold" missing persons case, retired detective Aaron Fox and his half-brother, detective Moe Reed get knee deep in a marginally related case involving Hollywood depravity. I found the brothers' complex relationship quite tedious and think this novel was more than 100 pages too long. Summary: A missing girl. A despondent father. A case so cold that it is given to a newly transferred detective as a “welcoming” present. The case concerns one Caitlyn Frostig who disappeared one night on her way back from her shift at a local bar. No one saw her disappear. She had no enemies and her boyfriend has an air tight alibi. The case is a dead end on the surface at least until the employer of Caitlyn’s father gets involved. His employee is distracted by the disappearance of his daughter and that is bad for business, so Mr. Dimitri decides it is time to go around the police and bring in some outside help. This help comes in the form of Mr. Aaron Fox, a former detective turned P.I. and step brother to Moses Reed. Moses Reed just happens to also be the newly transferred detective that was given the Frostig case. Though it takes some work and some putting aside of “issues” the two start to unravel the sordid mess that surrounds the case and find themselves taking on the lowest of street thugs and the highest of Hollywood Stars as the number of victims climbs and the fate of the original victim seems to be further and further out of reach. My Thoughts: This was an enjoyable read. The mystery part of the story kept me guessing and the characters were pretty well developed. This book does appear to be part of a series or a connected world so some of the plot points mentioned were a little vague to me but it didn’t distract from the story. If your looking for a fast paced mystery give this one a read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
