3.5 stars. I chose this because I was looking for a mystery set in Cleveland while I was staying in Cleveland during my dad's heart surgery. It definitely gave some interesting character and feeling for Cleveland (though Cleveland of 30 years ago, as this was written in 1987 - but led to some interesting conversation with nurses in the hospital about what is the same and what is different). Was pleasantly surprised (since this was a somewhat random choice) that the mystery was well done and the main character was interesting. I'll likely try the next in the series as well.

Reminds me of [a:Robert B. Parker|397|Robert B. Parker|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1354149354p2/397.jpg]'s early Spenser books which I like a lot. The 80s setting (pay phones, funny clothes, etc.) is a bonus.

Good, quick mystery read by a local author. I'll continue reading his series.

There's just something about believable characters having believable conversations with believable plots and outcomes. Roberts hits it 100%. I'm smitten with his exquisite detail and obvious care for his readers. And having it all set just 20 minutes from my front door? Mahhhvelous! I'm hooked!
