Sinister Heights (Amos Walker Series #15) Book

I really enjoy this series of books featuring PI Amos Walker, of which this is the 15th.

In this particular tale, a rich young widow altruistically engages Walker to check out other potential heirs to her late husband's estate. But, as usual, things aren't anywhere simple as they might seem - and Walker encounters a range of unsavoury types along the way.

There's lots of semi-hidden humour and less obscure editorialising on the corruption the narrator feels lies at the heart of Detroit which is almost a character itself in this series.

I enjoy how certain characters drop in and drop out of the novels and how Estleman from time to time throws out little nuggets of information about their back story.

(Although in a rather different style to John D McDonald's "Travis McGee" books, I think if you like one you will probably have time for the other. And Estleman is still with us, so the list of HIS titles continues to grow).
