This review is from: Framework For Death (Paperback)

1998 Anthony Nomination! This mystery is even better than the first one in this series. Ms. Schumacher has really out done herself on this one.

El Paso Detective David Alvarez, who we met in ENGINEERED FOR MURDER, is working on a murder case in which a second floor room falls on 2 people, killing them. Detective Alvarez calls in Tory Travers, whom we also met in the 1st book, to help him figure out what caused the collapse. Before you know it, they are up to their necks in trouble, with a killer, who needs answers and is willing to do anything to get them. This is one killer who will stop at nothing to get his questions answered, even if it means killing Ms. Travers infant son and the son of Alvarez's partner, as he has threatened to do. The ending is Superb.

I was so into this book, I couldn't put it down. I wanted to hurry and get all the answers myself! Thank you Ms. Schumacher for an excellent read.

This review is from: Framework For Death (Paperback)

Engineers don't get a lot of page-time in fiction novels. So, I was thrilled to discover Aileen Schumacher's mystery series a few years ago.

I've read them all, always eagerly awaiting the next novel. The characters are well developed and the plots are well designed -- allowing you to sometimes figure out what will happen and other times be utterly surprised.

Seeing the characters develop in this second novel and the relationship between Tory and David grow has been a real treat.

My disclaimer is that I'm an engineer, so I may enjoy the subject matter of the series more than most, but it should be a good read for all mystery readers.
