Weak continuation of Loon Lake series, Dec 22 2009

This review is from: Dead Renegade (Paperback)
Dead Renegade is the tenth book in Victoria Houston's Lone Lake series of mysteries featuring Dr. Paul Osborne and Chief of Loon Lake police Lewellyn Ferris. It is quite short at 187 pages of wide-spaced text, and it suffers from its brevity. It reads incredibly fast. There is little of the character development that has made the series outstanding. The plot is a conglomeration of possible child molestation, an old murder, the financial crimes of a totally unsympathetic wheeler-dealer, the attempted murder of his wife, and the death of a local bad boy just released from the Wisconsin penal system. None of the crimes are developed in detail; the solution to each is given in a check-it-off-the-list manner that makes it difficult to care about the victims or the process. I am much disappointed in this weak continuation of a good series. I would recommend either the library or waiting for a secondhand copy.

Disappointing!, Dec 30 2009

This review is from: Dead Renegade (Paperback)
I have been a faithful reader of all of the Lake Loon series. I look forward to them.I have to say Ms Houston has not given her best effort in Dead Renegage. It is noticably shorter than the earlier novels. There is not enough space given to make the plot more interesting. I believe she did less research on
this one in developing state of the art crimes. Overall, I was disapponted.

Disappointing, May 22 2010

This review is from: Dead Renegade (Paperback)
I have loved all her books and characters. I would have rate all of them a four or five. But this one was flat. I struggled to get through it. Perhaps it was the theme. Houston just failed to produce the tension necessary to make this what it could have been. I think it was because she did not want the Doctor's granddaughter to completely pass through a terrible crime. It was though she was protecting Doc. Thus, the book was just light fiction at best.
Listmania!
