Rating:  Summary: A who dunnit of enormous proportions Review: I particularly enjoy this series, I think because the main characters are definitely not perfect. Their lives progress and grow, they face new challenges, and at the same time they solve some really perplexing cases. This one was riveting because of the ultimate motivation of the doctor--hard to imagine anyone becoming so wrapped up in their career that they would resort to what the doctor did.

Rating:  Summary: bittersweet Review: I really enjoyed this book, it's my favorite Decker-Lazarus mystery. Why? Rina has an active role in solving the mystery and her friendship with Bram added a multi-dimensional twist.Bram's a wonderful character, giving us insight into Rina's first husband and her life before. His love for her seems so pure, that's why I've titled this review 'bittersweet'. I like the reason heart surgeon Dr. Sparks got involved with the motorcycle group..that was classic! I also like the growing friendship between Marge and Oliver. The only part I didn't like was the wooden portrayal of the rest of Azor Spark's family. Hard to believe that the character Bram was supposedly raised in the same environment as the rest of them.

Rating:  Summary: BETTER THAN JONATHAN Review: I THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS EXTREMELY SUPRISING. IT HAD GOOD CHARACTER INTERACTION, GOOD STORYLINE, AND THE STORY PLAYED OUT GOOD ALTOGETHER. I REALLY HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE BEST BOOK, THAT I HAVE READ TO DATE.
Rating:  Summary: Pretty Good Review: I wanted to give this book 3 1/2 stars. It was good but very slow in starting. I felt like we went all over the place and got to know some characters pretty well while others were pretty much ignored. We find out who did it but I thought it was pretty much ignored in the end. I did enjoy the relationship between Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus. I even liked the religious aspect of the story. But it was dragged on for way too long. This was my first novel by Ms Kellerman. I might give another one of her book a try, hoping it will move a bit faster.
Rating:  Summary: A who dunnit of enormous proportions Review: Kellerman weaves suspense throughout the entire book. It is hard to put down as I wanted to get the lowdown on all of the suspects--suspects a plenty. Twists and turns and unexpected events describes the flow of this book. It is definitely a good read. This is my first Faye Kellerman book, but not my last.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent unless you're a Christian Review: Like "Grievous Sin" this book is another exercise in spreading contempt for religious Christians. Faye Kellerman's writing, and stories are excellent. If you're a Christian grab some other Peter Decker, Rina Lazarus book and enjoy it -- they are all well written and fun to read. But avoid this one and "Grievous Sin" unless you have a thick skin. In her other books religious Christians have the luxury of being igored.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful work of mystery Review: She has done it again. Prayers for the Dead is Faye Kellerman's best yet. She has kept me glued to every page, surprised at the end and best of all in love with Peter and Rina, all over again
Rating:  Summary: boring Review: The religious lessons, theology, rites and ritual one is forced to endure while reading Faye Kellerman's books completely destroys any enjoyment of the mystery--threw it in the garbage after 100 pages. There's too many other interesting writers out there!!
