Review

'Start collecting her books now, she's likely to be one of the big hitters in the thriller game.' Lad's Mag For CLEAN CUT 'A great thriller debut ... Think Michael Connelly or Sara Paretsky ... Both scary and satisfying.' John Sandford **'Featuring a


Product Description

English professor Serene Ransom is nursing a late- night drink and musing on the sexual possibilities of the hunky young bartender when a robbery interrupts her fantasies. She urges 'Catch' Clancy to kill the thief, but when he hesitates she doesn't. Catch knows what the cops will assume when they find a murder has been committed in his bar: he has a history with them. So he collects his meagre belongings and allows Serena to take him back to her apartment in the city, happy to be seduced by her compelling eroticism. Paris Murphy, her marriage in deep trouble, her father in intensive care, only pays half attention to the search for the missing men - 'Catch' and the robber. But her partner forces her to stick with the job and her intuition (and reckless willingness to use herself as bait) gradually come to the fore as they begin to unravel the evil web of violence surrounding Serene and Clancy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well written, downright creepy psychological thriller!, 21 April 2006
By Jana L. Perskie "ceruleana" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dark House (Paris Murphy Mysteries) (Hardcover)
Catch & Serene ...what a pair!!

He is a bartender with a violent streak, suicidal tendencies and a terrible secret. He used to be a terrific hockey player though.

She is an Associate Professor of English Lit. at the state university with impeccable credentials from Princeton and a few publications under her belt, notably "Romance or Reality? How The Divided Soul Pains the New Prometheus." Well, I don't know much about the divided soul...but Serene Ransom, a.k.a. "Pink Lady," is acquainted with the divided self. Oh...and she also prefers her men young - very young.

"Catch," a.k.a. Enda Clancy, is young and Greek god handsome, although he is not Prometheus nor is he as young as Serene usually prefers her boys. However, he has been known to gravitate toward older women. So...it's a match made in heaven - or hell!

The two meet late one night in Maggie's Red Door, the bar Catch tends, located in Northeastern Minnesota's Iron Range. When a drunk snowmobiler with a police record decides to cause a bit of excitement as the joint is closing, he gets more than he bargains for. Before Catch locks up for the evening, he and his new girlfriend, (with a penchant for pink, cats and S & M), commit murder, conspire to conceal both the body and the evidence, clean up, clear out the cash register, claim the shotgun under the bar and takeoff for the Twin Cities. This is obviously just the beginning of their spree.

Detective Paris Murphy of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area Police Department gets the case. This is Detective Murphy's third appearance in a Theresa Monsour police procedural and my introduction to the intelligent, feisty, part Irish, part Lebanese law officer. Paris is a more complex character than most female protagonists in series novels. There is more to her than the same old "tough but vulnerable" facade. I am definitely planning to read books one and two, ("Clean Cut" and "Cold Blood").

Not only am I taken with this three-dimensional take charge lady, but I like her husband, family, colleagues, boss and problematic love life. The dialogue is realistic, the plot is gritty and fast paced - some nice twists. Ms. Monsour, an award-winning journalist for a St. Paul newspaper, gives us a vivid look inside the heads of two totally wacko individuals, one a serial killer - and the view is chilling. The writing is quite good! What's not to like??
