Death of Anyone is a hard hitting police drama set in Detroit featuring
Detective Bonnie Benham. Bonnie is a tough yet tender character especially
given the crime she needs to solve; that of a child rapist/murderer. The other three
detectives in the story support and admire Bonnie and she falls in love with
one of them. The characters are true to life and not at all glamorised.
DJ Swykert is
a former 911 operator and clearly understands police procedure. The inclusion
in the on-going real debate about using Familial DNA has the reader
considering his own attitudes.
I enjoyed the
story line and for the most part the writing but felt the quality of the
goes from fairly ordinary writing to brilliant. These changes in style do not
have a negative impact on story flow and being a well thought out story kept me
intrigued. While I worked out “who-dun-it” the ending
still surprised me.
I believe it could use some
professional editing. It’s a good story and but needs some tweaking. I would
certainly encourage the author to keep writing
It should be
mentioned that there are some graphic descriptions, sexual relationships and
language that may offend.
My rating 3 ½ * rounded up to 4 *
