Harriet Klausner's Review Archive

Paul begins to investigate the case and quickly links the two murders that are four decades apart, especially since the deceased Mike loved to talk about his cronies who had a falling out just after the war. As Paul gets closer to the truth, he realizes that friends and lovers have kept a secret that if disclosed could lead to the deaths of the person revealing it and the recipient, because someone wants the secret to remain hidden.

THE RIVERVIEW MURDERS is a fantastic who-done-it that brings alive the gritty North Side of Chicago. Paul, the low rent private investigator, is a great character who is for those readers who enjoy an old fashion hard boiled detective. The story line, like its four predecessors is fast-paced, action packed, and loaded with more twists than a street pretzel. Chicago is Michael Raleigh's kind of town as no one paints the town this well since Ferris Bueler's day off. Harriet Klausner
