Summary: If the words "structural engineer" made your eyes glaze over
Review: Affirmative Reaction is the third detective David Alvarez and Tory Travers mystery. This time, it's Tory Travers turn to ask Detective Alvarez for help because someone wants her dead and seems at any cost. Ms. Travers finds a woman's body in a storm drain of an abandoned subdivision. The body turns out to be a city employee who was known for speaking out against affirmative action programs. The Hispanic contractor, who built the now abandoned subdivision, was thought to have committed suicide, but could it have really been murder too? David and Tory must go back into the past in search of answers they need in the present. These characters are growing on me. I love the under current of romance between these two. They continue to work together and try to hide their feelings for each other. Be prepared to enjoy every minute of this book. I found it to be an Excellent Read. Pam Stone

Review: and you passed this series by, you would have been making a BIG mistake! I almost did, and I am so glad I didn't, since Tory and her involvements with the El Paso police dept. and a certain Detective Alvarez have been some really entertaining reading. The plots seem well described here on Amazon, so I won't add to it. Suffice to say that this is a well written series (you won't be cringing over the sentence structure with this author) with characters that are interesting and with depth. I will be watching for Aileen Schumacher and putting this series on my keeper shelf.

Summary: Looking forward to the 4th in the series!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I have her 2 others. Aileen's prose is very crisp, and enjoyable to read. The mix of the main character Tory's personal life (for instance, she is struggling with her 16 year old son noticing a girl for the first time) and the actual crime is well balanced. The characters have been developing over the series, and the relationship between Tory and David is fun to watch. The mystery unfolded nicely, certainly surprising me at the end. I would recommend reading this series in order, because there is reference to the previous book (Framework for Death). But by all means, read it.
