Detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina Lazarus, risk life and limb to solve a pair of brutal murders that may be tied to a crime from more than twenty years ago in this intense and addictive mystery from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

On a quiet suburban street in upstate Greenbury, New York, the brutally beaten body of a young man is discovered in the woods adjacent to an empty vacation home. Twenty-six-year-old Brady Neil a resident of the neighboring town of Hamilton, had no criminal record, few friends, worked full-time, and attended community college. But as Detective Peter Decker learns, the clean-cut kid is linked to the criminal world. When Brady was a baby, his father, Brandon Gratz, was convicted of robbing and killing the owners of a local jewelry store. While Gratz and his partner, Kyle Masterson, admitted to the robbery, they swore they left the owners, Glen and Lydia Levine, very much alive.

The experienced detective knows there's more to this homicide case than the records show. As he digs into Gratz's past, Decker begins to suspect that the son's murder may be connected to the father's sins. Before he can put together the pieces, Decker finds out that one of Brady Neil's friends, Joseph Bochâ??aka Boxerâ??has gone missing. Heading to Boch's house with his temporary new partner, Hamilton PD cop Lenora Baccus, they discover a bloodbath.

Who would savagely kill two innocent menâ??and why? Finding the answers will require all of Decker's skill and knowledge, the help of his fellow Greenbury detectives, Tyler McAdams and Kevin Butterfield, and information gleaned from his wife Rina's behind the scenes investigation to put all the pieces of this deadly puzzle together . . . and see justice d… (mehr)

Crime

I love a good Decker/Lazarus novel, and I think this one delivers. This time Decker ends up fighting over territory with the neighboring Hamilton police, and ends up unearthing a decades-old mystery. Solid contribution to the ongoing series.

I was bothered by a couple of things -- the somewhat amusing and somewhat bizarre advertisement for the Alex Delaware series which happens in the middle of the book -- I'm not sure how people would miss that the authors are married, but ok. Also, Reena as unpaid researcher and full confidant is becoming a bit problematic to me, given that Decker is so very hard on his people about not sharing details of the case with anyone, under any circumstances. Speaks to the humanity of the police force, but the scene where she's reading a confidential case file over his shoulder in front of his boss and offering her take seems a bit farfetched.

Decker is called out to investigate smashed mailboxes, but finds the dead body of Brady Neil. Brady works as a manager in the electronics department at the local superstore, lives at home, always seems to have money, but does not seem to have enemies. His father, on the other hand, is serving time in prison for robbing and murdering the owners of a local jewelry store. Joined by a detective from the neighboring police force (Lennie Bacchus), they find out Brady's close friend, Joseph Boch, is missing. Peter Decker is joined by his no-so-new-anymore sidekick, Tyler as they dig into the 20-year old crime and police investigation, led by Lennie's father.

The plot was unnecessarily convoluted, the rivalry between the two police departments seemed forced to me, and the gratuitous promotion of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series should have been deleted. ( )

Walking Shadows is a slow moving book. It spends a lot of time with characters arguing over whose jurisdiction the murder falls under. There is a plug by her characters for her husband's novels about, Alex Delaware. Unfortunately, the main characters were not likeable nor was the story and as a result only three stars are awarded to this book. ( )

A well plotted and written book. My first Faye Kellerman book and it won't be my last. The story contains characters that I cared about and the story moved along at a good pace. ( )
