Deadfall

Recovery. Linda Fairstein picks up the 19th Alexandra Cooper crime novel titled, Deadfall, where the last novel left off. Alex has been on leave, recovering from trauma, and hasn’t quite returned to her old self. She’s drinking too much, and relies heavily on Mike Chapman to see her through this recovery. A dramatic murder opens this novel, and Alex was next to the victim when it happened. Fairstein takes readers into the Bronx Zoo and the nearby railyards as this installment’s lessons about New York City. As always, the crime is interesting, the characters familiar, and the resolution dramatic, leaving readers anxiously awaiting another installment.
