5.0 out of 5 stars Deep Cover, June 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: LA Donna Detroit: A Detective Sergeant Mulheisen Mystery (Hardcover)

La Donna Detroit had me at "hello". The newest in the Mulheisen series goes deep - deep into the long-buried fears of Humphrey "The Fat Man" DiEbola, deep into the secret history of Detroit, and deep into the heart of Mulheisen himself. Do yourself a favor and check out LA DONNA - the plot twists, character development, and Jackson style will make you want to reread the entire series. JON A. JACKSON IS THE BEST-KEPT SECRET OF AMERICAN MYSTERY WRITING.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not as good..., September 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: LA Donna Detroit: A Detective Sergeant Mulheisen Mystery (Hardcover)

...as the previous novel, DEADMAN, mostly because I would have like more Mulheisen in the plot. But still an entertaining read for anyone that likes intelligent, different, quirky mysteries.

This review is from: LA Donna Detroit: A Detective Sergeant Mulheisen Mystery (Hardcover)

My first read of a Jon Jackson novel, and after reading the reviews on here I had higher hopes than the book delivered. At times it was very good, well paced, clear characters and action and then it would wander of on some side road for a period of time. Given that the Detroit detective's name is featured on the cover, I kept wondering when he would appear. Well, not for quite a while and then the most interesting aspect of his life is his living arrangement with his ladlady. I believe this needed more re-writing than it got.
