Very good characterizations as well as a good storyline,

This review is from: Getting Away with Murder: A New Benny Cooperman Mystery (Hardcover)
Canadian Private Investigator Benny Cooperman is comfortably sleeping in his bed in the small town of Grantham, just outside Niagara Falls when three thugs drag him out of his house and escort him to Abram Wise, a crime boss who has never tasted prison. Abe hires Ben to investigate who and why someone suddenly wants him dead. Abe makes a disinclined Ben an offer he can't refuse. Ben begins to investigate by talking to Abe's angry ex-spouses and his even more irate children. Ben soon finds a connection between Abe and a recently murdered ex-police officer, who apparently allowed the crime lord as a rookie thief to escape arrest. As Ben gets closer to uncovering the identity of Abe's wannabe assassin, he places himself in danger from the same culprit, who plans to eradicate one crime king and anyone else who might get in the way. The ninth novel in the Ben Cooperman mysteries is a well written tale that should please Howard Engel's innumerable fans. However, though the story line is exciting and the engaging ending quite good, GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER is just not at the level of Benny's previous eight adventures. Benny remains as lovable as ever, but Abe seems more of a caricature (without being satirical) of Brando's Godfather, thereby leaving this book a notch below its predecessors. Harriet Klausner

This review is from: Getting Away With Murder (Benny Cooperman Mysteries) (Paperback)
i found this book incredibly helpful in getting away with what i did... i think a sequel should include more on what to do if you actually get caught. stuff such as how legal maneuvers to make it look like your innocent. i don't think i would have looked as guilty as i am if i had read this before the cops chased me around LA. -O.J.
