Summary: Griifin again touches the heart of his readers, great story
Review: The blending of chartacters from different walks of lives brought together like family, friends and neighbors. You can sense the mood of each person as you weave your way though their lives. The City Brotherly Love has more then Liberty Square. This book and the follow five in the series are as good as any series I have ever read. W.E.B. Don't stop now, as long as the qaulity stays this high I will keep reading.

Summary: This book and the others in the series are non-stop action!!
Review: The books in this series are so intricate and complex. The author has provided so much as to detail that he has painted an accurate picture of police work, inner politics, and the workings of investigations. I have all of the paperbacks so far in the series andI am getting the newest one soon. My only problem is that I can't put them down and never get anything else done!

Summary: Character introduction and no story
Review: This book is just an introduction of characters. There is a small background story that lets the characters be introduced. It is really ridiculous. As the story moves along, everytime a new character pops up, there is a multipage description of the character, starting with what the character's ancesters did going back three or four generations. Most of these characters have very little to do with the actual story. With 30 characters, and just over 200 pages, there is very little room for a story.Griffin is very good at character development and the short story is kind of interesting. You do get a feeling for the type of people who joined the police, the hierarchy of the police department and a little idea of how the police force is run. Unfortunately, the most interesting part of the story, where the murderers are tracked down, is cut short. Alot of the ideas and philosophies are archaic. It is hard to tell when the story takes place, but one reference makes me think it is 1973. The copywrite on the book is 1984. This is the first book in the Badge of Honor series. Maybe Griffin was trying to get the player introductions out of the way in the first book to make room for stories in later books. But, after reading this book, I have no desire to read the next. Even if I do, there is no way I would remember who all of those characters were and what their background would be.

Summary: Exciting, it makes you want more.
Review: This was the first book by Griffin I had ever read...I was never a cops and robbers reader...but this book was GREAT. When I was finished I couldn't wait to get the next one. Griffin makes the characters so real, Mathew Payne is the best.

Summary: Excellent! One of the best police stories I have ever read!
Review: Without a doubt, Griffin knows his subject matter. From the Marines, to the Army, he can really tell a story. He can even write about the Tickle Me Elmo doll and make it interesting! The Best
