Too Many Murders by Colleen McCullough
4.0
Carmine Delmonico is becoming one of my favorite detectives. Of course, he has some great helpers (notably, his amazing secretary Delia) and quite often just plain luck on his side. This second book in the series was not quite as good as the first, but still hard to put down at times.
This time, Carmine is hit with numerous murders, all different, yet all on the same day - very unusual in his small city. Once again, the numerous characters were hard to keep straight at first. There were some nice twists and turns in the story. The plot neatly mixes murder and espionage, and Carmine has to square off against a visiting FBI agent at times. In all, it was a very clever story, and well developed to keep the reader interested. I'm ready for the next episode!
