Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-10 00:00:00 Ramon Soares Novaes De Souza Book Three of the Bannerman series may be my favorite one. Instead of the usual locales of Europe or Westport, Connecticut this one moves to California. Most of the regular cast is there, but the story particularly features the one who is arguably the most unpredictable of the crew - Carla Benedict. And this book humanizes the dangerous, ticking time-bomb that is Carla. It turns out that Carla has family: the father she is estranged from and the younger sister whom she adores. Lisa is a film student working on her master's degree and focusing on the transition from silent movies to talkies. In her research, she stumbles upon an insane asylum where many of those failed film stars sought refuge. Lisa decides to investigate the place in the hope of actually talking to any who might still be alive. But Sur La Mer is more than it appears on the surface and her snooping around gets Lisa killed. Big mistake. A grief-stricken and enraged Carla flies to the West Coast to discover what happened and enact her revenge. Bannerman and many of his most loyal people follow with the dual purpose of damage control and attending the funeral. As usual, the plot thickens. It includes a serial killer who has been preying on college coeds, a Nazi war criminal hiding in plain sight with a new identity and various assorted mobsters and drug dealers. The body count is high. John R. Maxim ramps up the tension so much that I often had to put Bannerman's Law down to catch my breath. Hollywood missed a great opportunity by not turning these books into movies.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-26 00:00:00 Joann Betts I was disappointed that this book was supposed to be about Carla's revenge for the murder of her sister and then she does basically nothing except makes friends with a serial killer. And Bannerman seems like he just doesn't want to step on anyone's toes. I thought Carla would be unleashed for this one. There was really no revenge at all. And at times it seemed more of a comedy.
