I usually like all her books, but this one didn't sustain my attention.

I really liked this one, in which Decker and Rina go to Israel to search for some missing friends and a killer, and there's a connection with diamond dealers, Middle East politics and so on. It was an amazing book. I also like that Peter [Decker] has a need both for Rina, his wife, and Marge, his partner, completely separate and completely different.

Great read. Loved the excursion to Israel. Loved the conversation about gets, but not necessarily the story line of it. I mean the conversation they had about it while in Israel was fantastic. However, watching the story line play out was unsettling. Both murders fell in that gray area where I'm not really sure how I feel. There just isn't an easy answer to either of the situations. Was it right or was it condoning? And was there enough closure? My second favorite in series so far.

Combines two mysteries in the same book that are sort of related. Both involve people involved in the diamond business with ties to Israel. Lots of Jewish history, culture and religious practices described.
Peter gets involved looking for some missing people and find the parents dead and the children missing. He eventually tracks them to Israel and finds out why they were being hunted and who killed the parents. Meanwhile a friend of his wife comes to town with her children and then go missing. Her husband has been killed in New York and they search for her and his killer and it also leads them to Israel.
