A review by tiffany_wilhelm
Death Angel by Linda Fairstein
4.0
Reading a Fairstein novel, especially the 15th in the Alexandra Cooper series, is a lot like slipping into a nice cozy sweater. It's worn around the edges, and maybe it has a few holes in it, but you know you're going to find comfort in wearing it. At the 15th book in the series, there's not much that surprised me in this novel. There's a current case that ties to something that happened in the past, and Alex along with Mike and Mercer work at finding the culprit. Some danger ensues, some wisecracking from Mike, and some red tape from those higher up the food chain.
There was the added twist of Alex and Mike at long last locking lips, but even that was short lived, due in large part to the drama surrounding his short-lived fling with the judge that's off her rocker, Jessica Pell.
I will say that overall I enjoyed this book. The history that Fairstein injects into the story always manages to tell me something I didn't know about New York, this time particularly Central Park. While I felt the ending with Eddie Welks and the unfolding of that particular reveal was somewhat rushed, I still enjoyed the book overall. If you're looking for a mystery to curl up to this summer, this series won't disappoint.
