Down a dark street Book

In my mind, I'm not sure the Boston story qualifies as a murder mystery. Plus, the motivations of the victim's mother felt way too forced. That a mother always protects her child felt way too simple. I just kept thinking to myself - no one's really talked to the mother. And the police officers' judgment of the father went in the other extreme. Mother-good. Father-bad.

I was expecting some cross over between Boston and Santa Fe. Nothing - just people dying in separate cities.

In the Santa Fe story, there's a lot of back story that has nothing to do with the murder. Since it's so short, you feel like you get an awful lot of potential leads before the murder is solved. It eventually comes around, but it feels like a lot of chase more than anything.
