Peter Lovesey4/5 stars
A woman is dumped in a parking lot, suffering a concussion and memory loss. Another young woman falls off a roof during a party. An elderly man is found shot through the head in an apparent suicide. As Peter Diamond investigates these separate incidents, he finds what could be a common thread running through them.
Diamond, with all his faults, is a highly likable character and this series is a delight to read. This mystery is complex, and the motive doesn't seem strong enough in the end, but overall it was well worth the read.
