Suspenseful Edge of your Seat Murder Mystery...
23 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
If you like murder mysteries, you have to read Death in Uptown. The way Michael Raleigh makes his characters come to life, with rich depth and great description, makes you want to page deeper and deeper into the book. It's suspenseful, it keeps you thirsty for more, and it shocks you at the end with the suspenseful ending. Michael Raleigh is my favorite murder mystery author...I definately recommend reading this book...If you like this book, check out his other paul whelan mysteries.
Well-written Murder Mystery
25 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
I liked this book, a good murder mystery, plausible characters, a very stark & realistic depiction of the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago in the 1980s (it has actually changed quite a bit!)..the best thing I liked about it was the colution was unexpected but made a lot of sense, not like some mystery authors who in prder to 'fool' the reader often come up with a perp which may be uexpected all right, but totally illogical & leave too many loose ends or forced explanations. So why 4 stars instead of 5? The one thing I didn't like was Paul's dialogue; OK a few wisecracks were OK, but repeatedly mocking the police detectives obesity or making jokey comments about murders...sorry that is acceptable im middle school, in a grown man it wears out very quicky. I guess the author thought it would make him cool - on the contrary it makes him sound immature. In my opinion that's 1 flaw in this otherwise very well-written book.
