The Fixer weaves together detective work, clinical psychology, an assassin, a prostitute, university politics and fundraising, and keeps readers involved to the very end. Set in Washington State, the story follows the police-work of Detective Mort Grant as he tries to find the link between several recent deaths that were made to seem the result of natural causes or misadventure, but were actually murders for hire. Dr.Lydia Corriger is a psychologist who worries that her newest client may have been involved with a related death, this one an obvious murder. The main characters have strengths and weaknesses that make them 3-dimensional and interesting. And the mystery of The Fixer's identity keeps you guessing and analyzing what each person says and does to see if they are giving themselves away as the owner of the alter-ego.
I enjoyed the book because it had enough misdirection in it to keep me a bit uncertain, even after I was fairly sure I knew who The Fixer was. The characters are enjoyable because of their flaws and quirks, as much as they are for their abilities. And, the end of the story leaves you ready to see what happens next as the series develops. If you enjoy the TV shows and movies where the main character is a master/mistress of disguise, then you will appreciate The Fixer's seemingly endless supply of identities for every occasion. Mystery lovers should give this a try.
I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
