A review by traderspike
The Beast by Faye Kellerman

2.0

I fear Decker & Lazarus are running out of steam. The main story of the book was fine, but it should have been taut and disturbing instead of pedestrian (or maybe I'm jaded). I think the "Gabe and Yasmine" subplot drags, and is a distraction from the rest of the story.

I also feel that publishers should hire humans with good judgment to proofread. The grammar mistakes are frequent and, to me, jarring, though some are obviously spell-check approved ("rapping the solid chain around the gate" "[t]he decent seemed faster than the ascent").

The bottom line: this is not Faye's best.
