My View

It is very good. I would have liked more family time, especially with the baby, but it was well written.

Please, please, write more of these

I love this series. I accidently picked up one of them at the library. Now I have read them all. The author is EIGHTY years old. I hope she has time to write a few more. They are the greatest police procedurals imaginable. Partly they are so excellent because they top out at 200 or so pages. No padding. But I hated to finish this one. I wanted more, more, more. Thanks, Ms. Gunn.

Chilly Minnesota Heats Up

Police captain Jake Hines is back in action. This time coping with a series of muggings that are escalating in violence, credit card scam, and a very pregnant wife. The scariest part for him--the coming baby. A series of muggings with the same MO have been bothering the detectives of Rutherford, Minnesota. They are sure that murder is not far behind. When a woman is found murdered and the mugger is caught the same night. All seems to be wrapped up, then other crimes that seemed separate from this one begin to have strange similarities. In the meantime, Jake's wife, Trudy is ready to give birth and Jake is having some serious nightmares. This seventh in the Jake Hines series is right on the mark. Characterizations are fully drawn and the mystery is tightly written. This is one police procedural that will not disappoint. And of course, I'm waiting for the next book.
