Death Angel (Alexandra Cooper Book 15)

As always, Linda Fairstein never fails to disappoint. Yet again she tells a story that is full of historical information about New York City. The characters of Alexandra, Mike and Mercer are so alive and the cases they work on are both exciting and, in places, scary, especially when “Coop” gets herself into danger. This time we are told intriguing facts about the history of Central Park and the author weaves her story in and around the park, using her imagination and knowledge to give us an extraordinary and somewhat believable situation where crimes have been happening for decades, most of them remaining unsolved. In addition to the main plot, we are treated to a hint of something that most readers have been waiting for since book one. Although this is never totally followed through, I have a sneaking suspicion that we may be exploring that trail further in the next episode. All in all, a delightfully written story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Easy to read crime novel - similar pattern in all her work, but a nice underlying story too.I now own several of her books.Book arrived promptly in a good condition.

Thoroughly enjoyed the history of Central Park, so much that I want to go and visit it. One of Linda Fairstein's best for some time but the repetitions of Alexandra Cooper's family history, her friendships and visits to Martha's Vineyard still irritate. Not sure if this is lazy writing or if the publisher is requesting it. A synopsis at the beginning or end would do!

The setting of the park, with all its history,and all the detail had me captivated, and the twist with the Dalton family tragedy made you want to keep o n reading brilliant research, and such detail

So tired of these macho women and their egos. Is it an American thing? Not a realistic thought or word from her. Barbies with balls!

I absolutely love this series. Set in one of my favourite cities, the books really allow you to get to know the main characters which appeals to me. The only thing I don't like is getting to the end - as it means I'm one step closer to finishing the series!

As usual with Linda's novels, you get totally lost in the story, with so many true facts about New York and Central Park, it makes a really griping story. Loved it. A

I've been following the Alex Cooper novels for years and this was the first one to disappoint me. I normally whiz through the latest installment, but I labored through Death Angel. Hopefully this is just a blip in an otherwise good crime series.
