Hannah Kline
is the mother of a 4-year old and a doctor. Suddenly, her sister-in-law, Beth,
was found stabbed to death in her Venice apartment. Beth was hit hard by the
news. First, her husband; now, Beth. Who had killed her? Her mind wouldn’t let
her rest until she found out. Was the victim raped? Was she pregnant?
At first, it
seemed like Hannah would do anything to find the killer, but, really, most of
the work was being done by Detective Daniel Ross and his partner. They don’t
really work together to solve the case. They just both feel the same in the
sense that they want the killer caught. In fact, the whole thing almost felt
like 2 separate stories. Hannah was knee-deep in disgusting play-by-play
surgical stuff while raising a daughter; and the detective was busy working the
case. I don’t know why this is considered a Hannah Kline mystery when she
really doesn’t do anything; it’s Daniel that does all the grunt work. Also,
Hannah’s past was really dull and insignificant (I skipped most of her parts.) But
even Daniel’s part was too procedural and slow for me.
Story was
well-written for the most part, but it really didn’t captivate me as much. This
really should’ve been a Daniel Ross mystery.
My rating: 3 stars
