This book was clearly written to appeal to someone very different from myself. Didn't get through enough to feel like it would be fair to give it a star rating, although I will say that the writing was uninspired enough to make the experience as interesting as performing the multitude of chores that...

Way way back now, more years than I care to think about, I picked up a copy of a novel called “The Ritual Bath” and was introduced to Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus. I’ve grown up with them pretty much, we are now on book 23 and despite that fact this series just keeps going strong and I have never o...
The ending was just terrible! It really irritated me! The story was going along great & then it just like stopped. It was like she just ran out of time & just threw together a 2 min ending. It just didnt fit. I felt like I was left with alot of loose ends and unanswered questions. Also, there were s...
I like the Decker-Lazarus family, and I like them somewhat better for being culturally somewhat alien to me, and therefore interesting. Their Jewishness is particularly relevant to this novel, which starts with the desecration of a synagogue, and ends up with researches into Treblinka, but is far mo...

Since Greeves is generously donating to the ...
Excitement, suspense and good police work is always found in Rina and Peter books. This one is no different. A plane crashes into a apartment Dector's district. There is no record of Rosanne Dresden of boarding the plane though she is list as kill in the crash. As the recovery continues Roseanne is ...
I thought it was fine as a novel but I do question the sensibility of having a 14 year old falling in love with a 15 year old (call me a prude) and then interweaving that with gun crimes/suicide and other questionable happenings and the ending was just too abrupt (although I did see it coming - ther...
It's a credit to the author that she can still bring the suspense after 21 books following the same couple. Rina and Peter are talking about moving to live closer to their grandchildren, but in the meantime, there's still one more weird murder case for Peter and his crew to solve. I must admit, I wa...
