Death Goes Overboard
3,5 starsIt is a classical mystery that you don't come across too often lately. I enjoyed an old-fashioned style [author:David S. Pederson|991530] chosen for his Heath Barrington Mystery.
In [book:Death Goes Overboard|32808882] the author gives us more insights into a private internal world of his main character, or better to say in his personal emotional chaos. I can imagine that many readers who focus on the romance rather than on mystery can consider this as a positive gain. For my part, I'd say, it would have been a good decision if the mystery part had remained on the same level as in the book 1. Unfortunately, being too busy with Heath's personal fight, the author slightly neglected the mystery development. It wasn't difficult to guess who did it, aside from tiny deviations. But the fact that cop Alan, Heath's secret lover and his professional partner, wasn't very helpful in solving the crime, contradicted with my picture of him from the first book.
All in all, it was an enjoyable read. I'd recommend it to all fans of a classic mystery.
