Mystery/Thriller -- 3 1/2 stars
P.T. Marsh - Book 1
Detective P.T. Marsh decides to help a stripper whose boyfriend regularly beats her up. The morning after giving him a good scare, Marsh is called to the house again. This time, the boyfriend is dead. Marsh is sure he was alive when he left. Wasn't he? Then a black boy is found dead in the woods, and the main suspect is the stripper's boyfriend. Now he has two crimes to solve, and he has to do it before they discover his fingerprints all over the first scene. ----- P.T. Marsh is another cop with a drinking problem. Nothing original there. The solution is interesting, if unrealistic. But the saving grace of this novel is the pace. It really flies. Clues are spit out at a furious rate that keep you turning pages. There are really no dead spots, and that helps you ignore the plot's flaws. Basically an unremarkable tale that is easy to enjoy.
