Resumen del Editor

The brutal murder of Dr. Azor Sparks in an alley behind a restaurant is greeted with public outrage and a demand for swift, sure justice. But the investigation into the well-known surgeon's death is raising too many questions and providing too few answers for homicide detective Lieutenant Peter Decker.

Why, for example, would the family of a man so beloved respond to his slaying with more surprise than grief? And what linked a celebrated doctor with strict fundamentalist beliefs to a gang of outlaw bikers? But the most unsettling connection of all is the one that ties the tormented Sparks family to Peter Decker's own - and the secrets shared by a renegade Catholic priest... and Decker's wife, Rina Lazarus.

Solve another case with Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus.

Great book!

Loved it. As always, you just have to keep reading. I have didn't want to stop listening. Great reader.

One of my Favorites!!

Love this series and Mitch is a great narrator! In this book Rina and Marge were more prominent and I liked that. The story was great too!

Mediocre at best.

Too many characters and rather outdated. The beginning of the book mentions doctor television shows that haven't existed since I was a child. Sounds petty but that's very important to me when listening or reading a book that the author keep the information present.

I apologize to all her fans but this book, I didn't like. I downloaded another $5.00 book written by Ms. Kellerman so we'll see how this one goes.

The narrator was very good.

An Excellent Team: Author and Performer

Mr. Greenberg Excels Once Again. His facility with voicing multiple characters in clearly flowing dialogue places him at the pinnacle of his profession. Dr Kellerman continues to demonstrate her mastery of the genre with verisimilitude and engaging personalities. The result pleasures the listener throughout.

Dated!

When you find a series you like, after a while a new installment feels like catching up with old friends. I always want to know what Peter and Rina are up to and I think I would enjoy a whole book with just a development in their story.

Having said that, I did not care for this episode. It was so incredibly dated, and I think was trying to be shocking with no substance - therefore was just salacious instead of suspenseful.

Faye really gets the reader into the character's m

Religious zealots, spoilers or the closed minded stop here and don’t bother with this book.

It is NOT meant to be ABOUT religion. Religious beliefs and personal religious struggles are the back drop for the mystery/story. If you have EVER had these personal struggles with family and friends on religious issues you will understand the backdrop of the book. IT IS HUMAN! It is not meant to categorize, preach or teach. It is simply a GREAT mystery.

Faye really gets the reader into the character's minds. Here, the characters struggle with religious and moral limits. Faye always balances the professional and personal relationship aspects of the stories. This book is deep on many levels while still being a great murder mystery with warmth and humor.

I found it difficult to put the book down, and was fascinated by all of the characters, twists and turns and shocked at the ending.

The reader has that baby voice down pat. Laughed every time I heard it but the other voices were distinct and well done.

Great book good story

Can't wait to listen to the next one this book was very good they keep getting better

Prayers for the Dead

This Decker/Lazarus was especially appealing to me, maybe because of the subplot love story between the priest and Rina. Decker’s handling of the relationship is well-written and sensitive. Baby Hannah is becoming irresistibly charming. Kellerman excels in the treatment of grisly details in this book. More kudos for Mitch Greenberg’s narration.

Great characters, plot twists

I’ll miss the very lifelike characters Faye Kellerman created. And I was kept guessing till the very end.

Dynamics of the clan!

The incredible insight reflected in the story of religious persuasions, social dilemmas and enduring friendships.Plus the role of big pharma and corruption and malice. Wonderful wonderful reader
