Hearts of Sand

Angles. I let Jane Haddam’s latest Gregor Demarkian novel titled, Hearts of Sand, sit on the shelf for months after its release. I wanted to read it in the summer, and I did that with great pleasure recently. Demarkian agrees to consult on a murder case in the small and wealthy Connecticut town of Alwych. Haddam allows the clues to unfold at a moderate pace as Gregor works all the angles to figure things out. There’s another murder that increases the pace, and without spoiling the plot, Gregor solves it through a process of elimination that involves some very specific angles. Readers who like mysteries are those most likely to enjoy this novel and the series. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Hearts of Sand from amazon.com.
