Clyde Phillips

Didn't finish. A little too wordy descriptive, read the amazon reviews and it didn't sound like it is worth my time. Lazy whiny female detective that starts dating the main suspect.

This is one of those books that you need a seat belt for. You start page one and it's a wild and fast ride to the end. It's about folks from the toney side of San Francisco, the San Francisco homicide squad and murders with so many plot twists you feel like you need to stretching exercises when you finish to get yourself unwound. It's good. It's a first novel and he's just come out with number 2. It features the same homicide detective and her partner.

Too much gore for me and too many dead people.

Nice character relationships

I did not guess who the bad guy was and was surprised by the ending. Part of the way through the boom I was antsy wanting to get on with it. The exciting, action-filled ending was worth the wait.
