| Policing is hard work. My nephew is a police officer and he is out working in emergencies sometimes twenty hours a day. It takes a very loving and understanding woman to be an officers wife. My nephews marriage failed because of his long and irregular hours. I enjoy fiction that tells me it can work. It is also so close to real life that the author must have had help from the police. You get a fair pension if you survive. I have also had friends killed in the line of duty. These books put you where the action is. They have made the time spent isolated in my apartment because of the Covid - 19 virus pass very quickly. | ||||

| I came upon two novels in Faye Kellerman’s Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series that I somehow had missed. Having read all of the other novels, I was delighted. The first of these two I tackled was False Prophet, a book written in 1992 and the fifth in the series. Peter and Rina have only been married a few years and Rina is pregnant and at times, quite irritable. Enter Lilah Brecht, the daughter of a legendary movie star, who is raped and beaten. Lilah is a temptress who claims to be a prophetess as well. And she latches onto Peter. The course of Peter’s investigation leads us to some incredibly colorful characters and leads Rina to offer her usual observations and advice, most of which is valid, as Rina has always proven to be quite the detective herself. The plot takes us on a wild chase with the movie star— much like Gloria Swanson’s character in the film Sunset Boulevard, her array of offspring—all doctors except Lilah, and an assortment of quirky characters surrounding Lilah. One of them proves to have a back story that is totally unexpected. Along the way, Peter deals with his new sons, Rina’s two boys from her previous marriage, his own teenage daughter who is on the cusp of womanhood and feeling the growing pains, and, of course, the impending birth of his newest child who will have to fit into this blended family. I really enjoyed all that for it filled me in on how the family formed in the early days. After all, now, in the books, Rina and Peter are empty-nesters, so it was great to look back and see how their family evolved. Kellerman, as always, writes beautifully. Her research is spot-on, and she makes her police characters very authentic-sounding, indeed. It is a pleasure to discover this early novel. | ||||

| What is with this Kellerman novel? I’ve loved the other ones, but this one is dissatisfying in so many ways. The dialogue between Pete and Marge and the other police officers is great. The dialogue between the members of the family that is the main focus of the story is tedious and infuriating. I know that we’re supposed to find them infuriating, but we don’t need to be hit over the head with it time and time again. The only reason I finished the book is that I wanted to find out what happened, of course, but the ending was not even satisfying. I will read another, because I like Pete and Rena, and I think Kellerman usually does a good job with the mystery, but I hope this isn’t a trend. | ||||

| The twists and turns in this book kept me on my toes, whew. The end was a little bit of a key down, all things considered, but was still a very good read. | ||||

| The attempt to blend family life with murder mysteries seldom works. This comes pretty close, but in the final analysis, there was a lot of speed reading required to get to the good parts. | ||||

| As with previous Decker/Lazarus novels, a good read. Enjoyed previous ones more. I found the characters confusing in this one. | ||||

| I have read this book before and I enjoyed it the second time as much as the first time. About a very controlling mother and very mixed Up children. Always played one child against. | ||||

| Faye Kellerman is another of my favorite authors. Great detective who always solves the problem. With a sweet wife who supports him. | ||||

| I love all of the Rona Lazarus/Peter Decker mysteries. Decker and his team are intense, and the tension is always balanced by Rina's calming common sense and ever abundant supply of kosher comfort food. I would love to see a Rona Lazarus cookbook! | ||||

| I really enjoyed this story. The twists and turns in the investigation made for interesting reading. Although the plot led to some great connections and interesting revelations, I found the ending a little lacklustre. I felt the main character was more likeable in this book than the last two. | ||||

| I always enjoy Faye Kellerman's books. This one got rather confusing until the very end. I thought it ended rather strangely. | ||||

| The book was riviting. It had a lots of twists and turns and you were never sure of the outcome. | ||||

| Good beginning, never really reached climax, ending was one of the worst I’ve read from this author. Too many minor characters that just became confusing and seemed more just filler. Definitely not a page turner and very disappointing. | ||||
