3.0 out of 5 stars L.R. Wright's Karl Alberg Series, January 31, 2010

I recommend reading the Karl Alberg stories in order. This is book #4 and, although it stands alone, you will have a greater appreciation of Wright's work if you start with "The Suspect", which is a minor classic. Unlike the previous entries in the series, this one seemed to have a murky ending, but still was a fascinating character study.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not my cup of tea., July 11, 2006

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Fall from Grace (Hardcover)

RCMP sergeant Karl Alberg, out sailing with his lover, Cassandra, spot a body at the bottom of a cliff. Learning the identity of the victim, and finding his killer, requires Alberg to unravel the clues and the complex relationships of the resident in the small town of Sechelt, British Columbia.

For me, this was almost more a character study with a mystery, and Wright did a very good job with characters. They are the epitome of a small town cross-section with a balance of the likeable and unlikable. The character with the least focus was Alberg. But I did read the book for the mystery and it took a long time to get there. The story was well done, but not my preferred style. Comments on the book compare Ms. Wright to Ruth Rendell and P.D. James, neither of whom are my cup of tea. If they are yours, you may enjoy Ms. Wright.

The cover had been cut off and instead of saying Fall from Grace it said Fall from Grac. Hard to donate that to anyone.
