Third Degree (Murder 101 Mysteries) Review

I really like the Murder 101 series, but this is my least favorite book in the series. The characters and their relationships seemed flat. Alison and Crawford are on the verge of getting married, but there is no spark between them. Max, who should be a larger-than-life character, was a wisp of her former self. Kevin was involved in a bizarre sub-plot that went no where, and he couldn't be counted on for much of anything, and Fred was basically comatose. If I hadn't been invested in these books and the characters, I probably would not have finished this book. In future books, I hope that Alison and Crawford will get their chemistry back and that Alison will investigate murders for which there is at least a slightly plausible reason for her to get involved.

First Degree Review

The Edgar Award nominee for his first novel, Open & Shut, has penned another winner. Andy Carpenter, loveable lawyer (no, that's not an oxymoron,) is back and suffering from a severe case of "lawyer's block." When you've inherited $$$ million dollars, it takes away your incentive to represent any old criminal who walks through the door. But things change when a cop of questionable ethics is killed. The same cop, Alex Dorsey, that Andy's lover, PI Laurie Collins, turned in when she was on the police force. Then a man strolls into Andy's office, confesses, and asks Andy to represent him. Meanwhile the police have arrested someone else, someone Laurie is sure is innocent. One suspect after another fizzles out until Laurie becomes the chief suspect. Circumstantial evidence abounds, and Andy finally has a client he can get behind. It's personal now and the stakes have never been higher as Andy has to find the real killer and exonerate Laurie. Somehow the laughs keep coming as tension mounts and the bodies pile up, no easy feat but a sure testament to Rosenfelt's skill. This fast, funny read will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more.
