5.0 out of 5 stars
A good modern police procedural!,
By
This review is from: Murder on Theatre Row: A Bill Donovan Mystery (Bill Donovan Mysteries) (Hardcover)
This is the first Jahn mystery I've read and it's a good one. Capt. Bill Donovan of the NYPD specializes in exotic crimes and zeros in on a murder committed with an old crossbow in a theater that is being renovated for a new musical to open New Year's eve. There are connected crimes having to do with real estate machinations. There's a ghost story, spooky cellars under the theater, colorful characters, such as a NY Times critic who specializes in rock 'n roll and who has a major drinking problem, a black jazz musician doing a stint as an actor, the old agent of a long dead vaudevillian, who just may be the ghost. Capt. Donovan has an able sargeant and a personal life with a girlfriend who's a retired cop, now running a restaurant and while it's referred to, it in no way detracts from this modern police procedural filled with interesting bits about New York and it's theatre district. I look forward to finding other books in this series.
