Crackling Good Read

Wow! Picked this one up looking for something new, and now I have to read all the others in the series. Pomidor expertly captures all the necessary mystery highlights along the way, but the real gem here are the characters. With wife Cal, husband Plato, mooching chum Homer, and on and on Pomidor makes you care about the people who inhabit his world. Smooth, realistic dialogue woven seamlessly into a well paced story make this a joy to read.

Medical Mystery

If you like medical mysteries, then add this to your list. Here we have a husband named Plato who is a geriatrician and a wife named Cal who is a forensics pathologist. This time out the two are trying to find out how one of Plato's favorite patients ends up as a cadaver at the medical school. Lots of information on how medications are developed. Good read, however could of used better editing. (this if for the paperback edition)

A combo of Nick, Nora, and Kay Scarpetta, a la Cleveland!

This is a wonderful book. The author obviously had a warm-hearted upbringing. I particularly liked empathizing with his references to his family life. The next in the Plato series, it flirts with evolving the "well-nourished"/skulldugger into a character who loses as well as wins. But how does he manage to attract so many women?
