![]() I get that Kellerman wants to portray a strong and loving family/relationship between Decker and his wife, but it is painfully obvious (and has been for several, several books now) that Kellerman does not know what to do with Rina. Then, there is Rina.I have mentioned this is just about every review I have ever written on Kellerman's books. Yeah, when i am reading a thriller or mystery, I don't want to have to stop what I am doing to "google" the subject matter. In fact, while there are several attempts at describing in so called "layman" terms the complicated math issues in this book, I never quite "got it" and ended up having to google it. But wow, even for Decker - this story is slow especially since the topic Kellerman chooses to focus her entire book on is.math! Ugh, not exactly a riveting subject matter. The main character Decker is a thinker, so, of course, wild car chases would not be appropriate here (that's fine with me). Why? First off, the pace is a little slow. The Theory of Death is good but its not great. I have read ALL of Kellerman's books with various degrees of engagement and entertainment. If there was an option for 3.5 stars, I would take it. It will take all of Decker's wits and McAdams's brains to penetrate enigmatic formulas and codes to solve a dark, twisted tale created by depraved masterminds. Identifying the body takes Decker and McAdams into the indecipherable upper echelons of mathematics at Kneed Loft College – a sphere of scheming academics, hidden cyphers and most dangerous of all, a realm of underworld crime where even the most conscientious students can become cold and calculating. It appears to be a suicide – single shot to the head, gun by his side – but until the coroner makes the final determination, Decker and his partner Tyler McAdams must treat the scene as a suspicious crime. A male body has been found in the local woods. Then he receives a phone call from his captain. Detective Peter Decker has enjoyed the slower pace of his new job with the upstate police department. The twenty-third book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman It has been almost a year since Greenbury's last murder.
