Book Review: Walking Shadows

Faye Kellerman’s “Walking Shadows” is the latest chapter in her popular series featuring Detective Peter Decker and his wife Rina Lazarus. (William Morrow, 367 pages)

Decker and his wife have left the crime of Los Angeles and settled in the upstate New York college town of Greenbury. While called in to investigate vandalized mailboxes on the outskirts of town, Decker comes across the body of young man who has been bludgeoned to death.

The victim is Brady Neil, the son of convicted killer Brandon Gratz, who with his partner, Kyle Masterson, robbed a jewelry store in the neighboring city of Hamilton.

During the robbery, the pair shot and killed the Levines, who owned the store. However, they left a witness, the couple’s son, Gregg, whose testimony helped convict the robbers.

Decker suspects there may be a connection between the old robbery/murder case and the murder of Brady Neil. As he undertakes his investigation of Brady Neil’s murder, he is paired with the daughter of the Hamilton police chief.

Is the young Lennie Baccus simply an ambitious detective looking for more experience or is she spying for her father who had been the chief investigator in the Levine murder case?

In his usual meticulous fashion, Decker finds himself in the crosshairs as he uncovers the unsavory element of police corruption.

Faye Kellerman fans will enjoy this latest mystery involving Detective Peter Decker and his wife Rina, who, when she isn’t helping her husband solve crimes, is in the kitchen whipping out delicious dinners.

One can hardly wait for the next case for this

charming couple.
