Search - Killer Heat (Alex Cooper, Bk 10)

This is the first book by this author that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be looking for others in this series. This story is about a female ADA but she isn't stupid and trying to solve crimes alone. Alexandra Cooper is an intelligent dedicated prosecutor with the common sense to work closely with her police detectives. She has been in the special unit prosecuting sexual assault crimes for years and developed a valuable relationship with two detectives that have worked with her over the years. The story is interesting, well written, has solid characters and taught me quite a bit about the history of New York.

Four + stars

I felt like I was in a never-ending Law and Order show. this book did not get suspenseful until about 250 pages into it. Too much description. To me it was a laboring process to get through it, just glad it is over.

I love detective novels, and I really tried to like this one. Just couldn't get into it. The story was plodding, and the writing style was such that I had to keep going back to stuff I had already read because the author would suddenly bring up something that seemed really insignificant previously. Having someone from the DA's office do this intense detective work just didn't seem plausible either.
