Upon a Dark Night by Peter Lovesey

Upon a Dark Night
Peter Lovesey
4/5 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.
