There’s a melancholy tone of loss in Weinberger’s follow-up to Reason To Kill. The purposeful pace is befitting of the aging Amos as he tackles a case whose victims are largely neglected by society.
While the first Riley Ellison mystery, The Good Byline, earned a comparison to Janet Evanovich, by this book, the tone has turned dark. The author completes the four-book arc about the quest for truth about the death of Riley’s grandfather, but only dedicated readers of the series will care.
The character of the unassuming retired PI will appeal to fans of Naomi Hirahara’s “Mas Arai” mysteries, another series with an elderly investigator. The quiet story puts an interesting spin on Jewish history.
Following 2000’s All the Lucky Ones Are Dead, this latest in the series brings back a dogged PI determined to find the truth.

Tracy Clark’s readers will want to rediscover a master.
Featuring family loyalties, surfing, and a distinct lifestyle, this character-driven, atmospheric mystery may appeal to new adults and those readers interested in Hawaiian culture.
