This is the 2nd book in a series but I didn't read the first book. A detective moves from NY City--where 1st book was about--to St Louis and takes a job in one of the suburban departments there. First day on the job a whirlwind starts and a serial killer is on the loose. The 1st book was about a serial killer in NY City and a reporter wrote a book about this and the detective so most people he is working with has copies of this book too. Story is okay but at least the action keeps moving. This was written in early 1990s and just pushes the references to things around St Louis at that time--since I moved to St Louis only a few years before it was nice remembering some of these things. The story is so so and the whole serial killer investigation and other detectives are not really memorable. This was a mass market paperback that is kind of beaten up but wanted it for outdoor reading--especially before the shows started at the Muny and book did it's job.
There are enough copies already on PBS & this is a little beaten up so I will put it in the donate away pile. Not sure if I will bother getting the other books in series or not at this point.
