4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Mystery!, Mar 16 2008
By MacFly (Regina, Saskatchewan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Burnt House (Hardcover)
The Burnt House was not at all what I imagined it to be based on the title. This book follows a veteran police officer and his staff as they try deal with the unimaginable - a commuter plane that has crashed into an apartment building. Months later there is still one woman unaccounted for from the flight and that's when the real police work begins. Working tirelessly to try and find some clue as to what happened to this person soon becomes even more complicated when another body is found, but this one has been hidden for 30 years! Are these two cases related? Is it possible that there is a connection between these two missing women? These are the questions that keep you guessing and wanting to read more. Following in the footsteps of Sergeant Decker and his team is exhausting at times and you feel like you're going no where in the book, but once the pieces do start falling into place, it's a must read until the very end. I did enjoy this book and all the main characters and would read another one from this author again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dense Mystery Penetrated by Careful Police Procedure, Nov 6 2007
This review is from: The Burnt House (Hardcover)
This book will delight those who like mysteries that are very difficult to solve before the author reveals the story's resolution.

If you mainly read the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus books to focus on their life together, you'll think this is one of the worst books in the series. If you like puzzles, however, you'll feel fully rewarded by the challenging of determining what happened to flight attendant, Roseanne Dresden. Along the way, you'll pick up some unexpected twists that also make for good mystery reading.

This plot relies on a lot of coincidences. That can be troubling for a reader to swallow, but in real life coincidence occurs so often that we often don't even bother to remark on it. There is a subgenre of police procedural that relies on having more than one case mixed up in an investigation. I thought that the premise for this mystery was stronger than most books in that subgenre. But what distinguished the book was that the resolutions proved to be so difficult to anticipate. I dislike mysteries where you can see the solution beginning to take shape around page 50. In this case, Ms. Kellerman did an excellent job of keeping the resolution hidden until very near the end.

From reading this book, I hope that Ms. Kellerman will write more books that contain difficult puzzles whose solutions only gradually reveal themselves through police investigations.

Bravo, Ms. Kellerman!
