Haddam is always enjoyable. I LOVE retired FBI honcho Gregor Demarkian and the usual cast of Armenian-American neighbors. This book has a complex plot with even more characters and suspects than usual. The action weaves through the wide variety of Philadelphia neighborhoods, from the rich to the destitute. A serial killer seems to be on the loose, attacking middle-aged women in alleyways. The detective team heading the investigation is about as dysfunctional as they can be, to the point where even the police are happy to have a consultant called in. The only complaint I have is that in this book the relationship between Demarkian and Bennis didn’t ring true. Fortunately, it was only a very minor subplot here. I usually like Bennis and their interactions, but I found myself impatient with her this time. Still worth reading.
