P. I. Louis Kincaid has never liked working for the rich. Despite the blinding white of the Palm Beach pavement and the gleaming metal of the Bentleys at the curbside, it's clear to him that the creepy cleanliness only runs so deep. When the headless body of a male escort is found in the aptly named Devil's Garden, Louis's client is in the frame. Determined to clear his name, Louis is forced to delve behind the bedroom doors of the wealthiest women in the county as he uncovers a series of similar murders: young, handsome, penniless men who have been keeping company with rich, married, powerful women. But in a county where power is everything, women here will do anything to preserve their place in the social pecking order, and if someone breaks the rules, someone pays. Louis must watch his back, as behind Palm Beach's united front lurks a killer determined to cover their tracks.

As usual P.J.Parrish comes up to expectations.This particular book follows a cop named Louis Kincaid.He has been the hero in all of P.J.books.Anyone who has not read them,well must.This one is a real page turner.So many twists and turns that you long to know the end but at the same time you dread finishing the book as its so very good.

The Little Death by P.J. Parrish
The newest Louis Kincaid book out now! I got a sneak peak, and wow what a ride! Mel has a friend in Palm Beach that needs help. He's accused of killing his boyfriend. Mel takes Louis along to help figure out who really did it. The mystery is soon complicated by more bodies, many more suspects and very un-accommodating law enforcement. They do have one cop that is willing to help, Lt. Swann, and I hope we haven't seen the last of him. He was a great character. There are quirky rich women, irate husbands, illegal aliens, cowboys, an actual sex scene for Louis, and so much more. This has a mystery that will keep you guessing to the end and the ending will floor you! This is an outstanding mystery that you won't be able to put down. The Parrish sisters are on a roll and keep getting better and better. Put this on your list of MUST READS! Best book of 2010!

The Little Death

I love PJ Parrish books, however this one didn't thrill me in the same way previous one's have. Started off fairly well, slowed down way too much in the middle for my taste and the end picked up in a chaotic frezny. I just wasn't all that impressed. But I am anxious to see what Louis does in his next adventure! And I would love to read the sequel to A Thousand Bones. I hope that comes out soon!

Okay, but not as good as the rest

I've read all of the Louis series by PJ Parrish & was really excited to have another come out earlier this month. But I found it to be a bit short of the usual stories/adventure that previous books have showcased. It did start out quite slow, got slower & then ended rather abruptly. I found that Mel's relationship with the barmaid was not developed enough (at all) and now Louis wants to be a cop again. Please make up your mind. Cop or PI.
I will likely read the next one though, hoping that he heads back north to Joe & tries to make it there.
