FABULOUS SUSPENSE!!!

No one writes suspense better than Michael Jahn! This book is un-put-downable! If John Grisham were alive today, he would be writing books like this one! Highly recommended!!!

A great entry in a terrific series

It is the day after Thanksgiving and all seems right in fifty-two year old police Captain Jim Donovan's life because he has married his beloved Marcie. In a few weeks they will have their first child, a boy. Being over forty, Marcie faces a high-risk pregnancy and is under constant medical monitoring. Jim is working a part-time schedule centered in his spouse's hospital room. However, his superior abruptly suspends Jim's status when a Santa's angel uses a gun containing trace uranium bullets to break through a bulletproof window, killing a customer. Subsequently, a second store is hit with another patron murdered. Donovan ducks bullets and tries to keep the mayor alive. However, his biggest problem is a pregnant woman, who wants her husband safe and at her side when she gives birth to their son. The sixth novel in the Jim Donovan mystery series is an engaging who-done-it that is impossible to solve. Jim is a flawed person, who has finally found peace in his middle age. Michael Jahn brilliantly catches the flavor of a large city as well as the problems facing an ethnically mixed couple. MURDER ON FITH AVENUE catches the nuances and mindsets of the varying cultures to a rarely seen perfection that becomes the heart of the novel. This reviewer is looking forward to a harried Jim changing the diaper of an out of control infant boy.Harriet Klausner
