A Murder of Honor

Rating:
Summary: A solid, unoriginal, police thriller
Review: Andrews has written a solid, entertaining, if unoriginal, "tough cop" police procedural set in Washington, DC. He does a good job in depicting DC, and his plot is intricate and fast paced. But his characters lack color and intensity (as compared to the characters created by George Pelecanos or Michael Connelly, for example). Overall, I put this one in the middle of the pack.

Rating:
Summary: Cliche
Review: I think the author should have stuck to spy thrillers. It's just on cliche after another in this one: black cop/white cop, both are rebels, both have been there 25yrs, one is a lieutenant who's still investigating cases, there boss is a prissy type who sits behind a desk,,,,,blah.

Rating:
Summary: police procedural
Review: Reminds me of John Lescroart with his lawyer Dismas Hardy and homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky series. A believable
police procedural, except for the ending.
