This review is from: The Thursday Club (Hardcover)

Anne Wingate, writing as Lee Martin, has a little known and much beloved series of police procedurals with one of the most interesting heroines in women's mysteries.

Although the Thursday Club is not one of the top books in the series (it is #13), it holds your interest, keeps you guessing, and leaves off with still another twist & turn in the family life of Deb Ralston.

Please, Lee....bring her back for more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Deb Ralston's Last Case?, January 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Thursday Club (Hardcover)

I have read and re-read the Deb Ralston series. They are wonderful police procedurals (written by an ex-cop), but they are even more wonderful character studies. Deb is a Ft. Worth police detective who possesses an immense amount of empathy and intuitiveness in her crime solving. She is also a wife, mother - with 3 adopted children of mixed ethnicity, as well as one natural child - and is earthmother to a whole tribe of friends, family and, in some cases, suspects. Her intuition often leads her to make leaps in logic, going from point A to point C, but she arrives at the answers sooner, rather than later. The Thursday Club is one of the weaker books in the series, primarily because the continuity is missing. Deb has aged 5 years from the last book, but her children haven't. Some of the colorful friends from previous books are missing, and there is less about her personal life in this book. However, it is well worth the effort. The only thing more frustrating than the breaks in continuity has been waiting more than 3 years for the next Deb Ralston. I hope that this series doesn't go the way of the author's other series, written as Anne Wingate. It ended abruptly and no new book has been forthcoming. Deb is an old friend, and I want to see more of her.

I've read most of the Deb Ralston series and have really enjoyed them. They make you think. I like the way we can get into Deb's thoughts--even though she's sometimes wrong. The books are quite interesting and fun while you try to figure out who-done-it. I'm looking forward to the next one!
