Dead As a Doornail

Rating:
Summary: Another entertaining read for us Stan Kraychik fans.
Review: Although I am a fan of Grant Michaels' Kraychik series, I must admit that this one (Dead As A Doornail) left me a little hammered. The writing was filled with its wonderful wit and bite, but I felt the actual mystery was a bit befuddled. The characters were not as interesting as in past novels, and the "whodunit" was kind of a "who cares." This is not said to discourage the established Kraychik fan. Rather, to alert those about to join the club to read the earlier novels first (and in order) before picking up this title. All in all, it is a good read. But I hope Grant Michaels finds the spark from the first three titles and makes another bonfire.

Summary: Liked it very much and I follow the series.
Review: Being from the Boston area and having gone to college in Boston, I could identify with all the places and the storyline. I especially like the guessing who did it. I have enjoyed all of Grant Michaels' books. I am eagerly awaiting the next one.

Review: I have always enjoyed Michaels books, but this last one was not one of his better efforts. It was boring next to his other novels. I wish he would bring back Branco & Nicole in a big way. These are great characters that I miss. The book is a good read, but not as much as his older ones.
