5.0 out of 5 stars Another solid entry in Milan Jacovich series, January 4, 2000
By A Customer
While Sue Grafton's "alphabet" series dominates 90s detective fiction, Les Roberts is giving her a run for her money with his Cleveland-based series of gumshoe adventures. Milan Jacovich is a humane, brooding investigator who resorts to his considerable size and strength only with reluctance; his observations on modern life are oddly hard to disagree with. Roberts plots adroitly, letting the mystery and its solution coalesce slowly and tantalizingly. He also makes Cleveland come alive in a most affectionate and specific way (in a way that Cincinnati does not in Jonathan Valin's Harry Stoner series). Recommended with all possible enthusiasm to fans of the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Milan is the Man, August 15, 2001
By 
Untouchable (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
Mary Soderberg walks back into Milan Jacovich's life when she asks him to help out her boyfriend, the man she left him for, when he is the main suspect in the murder of a high profile television reporter. Milan finds that he still can't resist Mary's pleas and puts himself in what proves to be quite an awkward situation. Milan has to put professionalism ahead of his personal feelings when he agrees to take on the case because, although he hates the man who stole Mary away from him, he is, after all, taking his money to help try to prove his innocence.

As far as private investigator series go, the Milan Jacovich is proving to be a very strong and involving one. Milan is a continually developing character that is consistently interesting and likable. For fans of private investigator books, this is a very worthwhile series and this particular episode doesn't let it down.
