A-Plus. Mr. Bean scores again.
The continuing saga of investigator Rita Trible (from A Soul To Take) only gets better. Like a slow moving freight train you are gathered up into the encredibly real life of Rita. Then it picks up speed and never lets you off until the stunning last stop. Hold your breath!

Dissapointing...
I gave this book more of a chance than it deserved. I actually finished it. I read 100's of books a year, and this has to be one of the top 10 losers. The story line had potential, but there was little, if any, continuity. There are many questions left unanswered at the end, which is unsurprising as the author tried to sum it all up in 1 page. It actually feels as if...

I read 100's of books a year, and this has to be one of the top 10 losers.The story line had potential, but there was little, if any, continuity. There are many questions left unanswered at the end, which is unsurprising as the author tried to sum it all up in 1 page. It actually feels as if the story DIDN'T end. I haven't read anything else by C. N. Bean, and I admit it's possible his other works would be more to my liking - but this story read like a Dick and Jane book. This guy needs to read Stephen King's "On Writing" for a few tips. I doubt his other books read any better. Do yourself a favor and try J. D. Robb's "In Death" series. You won't be sorry.

Using the many of the same characters. . .,
By Peter Abelard (11th century Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Evil Intent (Paperback)
. . .as in his first novel, Bean crafts another psychological murder mystery -- but, like his first two, with some serious flaws.Again set in Southeastern Wisconsin, it is clear that Bean is reasonably familiar with the area. That is a plus. There are not many other plusses. The first victim? The mentor of his main character. Other victims? Like in his previous books, young children. Many readers may well have a difficulty with this aspect of the book. His ultimate villian was completely unbelievable, the motive was weak and the resolution non-existent. The sub-plot involving the gambling difficulties of the main character's husband never did make sense to me, and did not significantly add to the overall development. Certainly not the worst mystery writer I've encountered -- but certainly not the best either.

This is a very good book. It is well written and will leave you unable to put it down. This is another hit for C.N. Bean!
