A review by retiredlibrarylady
The Beast by Faye Kellerman

4.0

I have loved the Decker/Lazarus series, and my main complaint is that in the last several there is less and less of Lazarus. The victim is a recluse with some very kinky tastes. I found it highly improbable that he could have 4 different apartments connected in secret ways, with wild animals, even with the connivence of the building manager, without more notice from other tenants. It still works as a police procedural and there is the added interest of the family dynamic.
