A KILLING NIGHT

TITLE: A KILLING NIGHT
AUTHOR: JONATHON KING
Pages: 287
Date: 08/12/2007
Grade: 4.5
Details: nr. 4 Max Freeman Mystery
Library

Max's ex-lover, Sherry Richards, asks him to check out a former colleague of his from Philadelphia, now also living in Florida, whom she suspects of stalking and killing women bartenders.
And, although Max is reluctant to return to his past, he does as she asks. He does find that Colin O'Shea is a volatile character, but doesn't believe him to be a killer.
And while Sherry tries to prove O'Shea's guilt and Max his innocence, the killer has found himself a new girl who may well end up death.
Again, the book would probably have been better (for me) if O'Shea's innocence or guilt had been a mystery for longer. But the writing is so good that it doesn't matter too much.
