Interesting mystery plot. Mark Bradley is the main suspect, so he is -- of course -- innocent. Or is he? Little hints keep him in play as the possible murderer and as a possible teacher philanderer, though his wife is certain he is innocent of both charges. Then there's Harris Bone, the man who burned his family--except for one daughter. He may have been spotted by murder victim Glory and so killed her to keep her quiet, or he may be hiding in Mexico as his sole remaining child insists. Next there is Gary Larsen, a dance teacher/pervert who Amy (ex-student) of Hilary, thinks might be the murderer. Strong "tense" scenes. The fire; Amy being followed as she runs; attempted murder of Mark in the deserted cabin while Hilary showers.
Our main detective, Cab, is the son of a Hollywood actress who now lives in London. He has a tragedy in his life -- forced to shoot girlfriend who turned out to be a terrorist -- the depiction of which is one of the weaker sections of the book. Otherwise I like his character; he doesn't fit in rural Wisconsin or on the Florida police department. Wealthy, urbane, stylish . . . an interesting detective.
