A review by kgraham10
A Private Investigation--A DC Smith Investigation by Peter Grainger, Diane Hale

slow-paced

3.0

A lot of pondering of retirement - getting weary of this.

Also the required trope of the sociopathic serial killer that haunts the detective and keeps coming after the main character.  Does every mystery series have to do this?

Unsatisfactory ending. 

The author leaves you assuming that the main character is dead or at least brain dead.  Fortunately, it was obvious he is NOT dead as there is a book #9. <\spoiler>
