Richard LipezThe Dutch have a good word, gezellig (pronounced geh-ZELL-ig, with a phlegmy "g" on either end), that means cozy, familiar, congenial, memorable. That's Kellerman…You don't go to Kellerman for originality in style or plotting; in fact, this book reminded me of my Aunt Rae's tasty beef brisket. Aunt Rae confessed to me with a laugh in her 98th year that she prepared her popular brisket with packaged onion soup, and that in no way lessened the pleasure.

Publishers WeeklyIn bestseller Kellerman's uneven 17th novel to feature LAPD Lt. Peter Decker and wife Rina Lazarus (after 2007's The Burnt House), Decker must solve a 15-year-old cold case-the murder of saintly Bennett Little, a high school history teacher whose bound body the police found, with three shots in the back of his head, in the trunk of Little's Mercedes.
