    About this audiobook

    An intense and addictive mystery you won’t want to miss!

    The twenty-fifth book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman

    A murder
    On a quiet suburban street in upstate New York, a body is discovered. Twenty-six-year-old Brady Neil lived a simple life—his murder seems senseless. But then Detective Peter Decker discovers Brady’s father was convicted of murder many years ago.

    A disappearance
    Decker begins to suspect Brady’s death may be connected to his father’s crimes. Then one of Brady’s closest friends vanishes; a pool of blood the only clue to his fate.

    A ruthless killer who must be stopped
    Who would savagely kill two innocent men? With a little help from his wife Rina, Decker must use all his skill to put the pieces of this deadly puzzle together…before the murderer strikes again.

      I love a good Decker/Lazarus novel, and I think this one delivers. This time Decker ends up fighting over territory with the neighboring Hamilton police, and ends up unearthing a decades-old mystery. Solid contribution to the ongoing series.

      I was bothered by a couple of things -- the somewhat amusing and somewhat bizarre advertisement for the Alex Delaware series which happens in the middle of the book -- I'm not sure how people would miss that the authors are married, but ok. Also, Reena as unpaid researcher and full confidant is becoming a bit problematic to me, given that Decker is so very hard on his people about not sharing details of the case with anyone, under any circumstances. Speaks to the humanity of the police force, but the scene where she's reading a confidential case file over his shoulder in front of his boss and offering her take seems a bit farfetched.

      Advanced Reader's copy provided by Edelweiss.

      A well plotted and written book. My first Faye Kellerman book and it won't be my last. The story contains characters that I cared about and the story moved along at a good pace.
    • 3/5
      Walking Shadows is a slow moving book. It spends a lot of time with characters arguing over whose jurisdiction the murder falls under. There is a plug by her characters for her husband's novels about, Alex Delaware. Unfortunately, the main characters were not likeable nor was the story and as a result only three stars are awarded to this book.

      A Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus mystery. Peter is investigating a murder which turns out to be related to a double murder and robbery that took place 20 years earlier.
    • 4/5
      Attending to the vandalism complaint, from several seniors, bludgeon corpse is discovered. Decker starts connecting the dots as some past crimes seemed to be linked. Lots of detailed procedural work ensues including viewing hours from surveillance cameras. Rina pitches in with meals and sage advice. Another good entry in this long-running and very good series.

      I received this as a review copy from Edelweiss

      Much as I've loved the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series, this one was too convoluted to follow. The characters were not interesting enough to keep track of, too many unrelated story lines, and a very unfulfilling ending made me glad when I got to the end. And Taylor does not add anything to these books. He's uninteresting and doesn't contribute much.
    • 5/5
      It was a riot unlike any Peter Decker had ever seen before. More than a dozen senior citizens, dressed in their nightwear and robes, had taken to the street furious because seven of their mailboxes had been knocked over, the third time in two months. The police had installed a camera but one of the men had removed it because his wife didn’t like the way it looked.Decker wandered the area to see what clues of adolescent delinquency he could find in the yards and the woods behind the houses. What he found was the body of a twenty-six-year-old male, killed by someone bashing in his head. He had not been killed there.Decker and Rena had moved from Los Angeles to Greenbury; New York, a small, college town. As one character described it, “ “It’s a decent place, but it’s not exceptional. We’re what politicians call God and gun people.”“Nothing wrong with that.”“I don’t know about that, Detective. With God, it’s a round-trip ticket. The Lord destroys, but the Lord also creates. With guns, it’s strictly a one-way fare.”Decker soon learned the victim was Brady Neil, from the neighboring community, Hamilton. Neil had no criminal record, worked full-time, had few friends, and, it turned out, his father was in jail for a gruesome murder twenty years earlier. He was scheduled to be paroled in the near future.Decker began interviewing Neil’s family and co-workers. He lived in the basement of his mother’s home. She didn’t know much about what he did or where he went but he always had a lot of money. The one coworker, Boxer, with whom he was friends, had stopped coming to work at the time Neil disappeared. Since the body was discovered in Greenbury but the victim lived in Hamilton, Decker realized both police departments would have to cooperate. Hamilton Police Chief, Victor Baccus, agreed as long as his daughter Lenora worked with the team. She had recently left a five-year stint with the Philadelphia Police Department and her father wasn’t confident about her ability. He wanted Decker to check her skills and mentor her. No problem. Yet. Tyler McAdams, Decker and Rena’s long-time friend and current co-worker, thought she was planted there to spy on what Decker was learning.Gregg, the son of the jeweler and his wife, was ten years old when his parents were killed. He was the lone witness and identified Neil’s father as the killer. The father and his partner confessed to the robbery but not the murder. Solving the case made Baccus’s career. When Decker tried to interview him, he was unavailable and would not return calls.While trying to find the motive for Neil’s murder, the hunt for Boxer continued and evidence of his fate showed up. It was in Hamilton and the argument about jurisdiction and who should handle the cases began.There are many possible motives and killers in WALKING SHADOWS. Some possibilities are based on recent events. Others go back two decades. The book has it’s humorous moments. In one case, “She gave him some sliced white meat. Sides were coleslaw and coleslaw.” I noticed one inconsistency: In a free moment, Decker called Rena: Hi, I’‘m in the car. Can I call you back in ten minutes?”“It might not work. I have a lull right now, but I don’t want you to talk while you’re driving.”“Everything okay?”“Just a whole lot of nothing...well, that’s not entirely true.” He told her about Boxer and his disappearing act.”For someone who didn’t want her to talk while driving, he still kept her on the phone.There was also a scene where a man with one arm chained to a table crossed his arms.WALKING SHADOWS kept my attention. The characters are realistic and the story moves forward. For Decker/Lazarus fans, Rena plays a small but important role, much different than the ones she played when they lived in Los Angeles
