On the Other Hand, Death: A Donald Strachey Mystery Novel - Crime Thriller for Mystery Lovers | Perfect for Book Clubs & Detective Fiction Fans

I started getting the Donald Strachey mysteries with Chad Allen about a year ago. I find them interesting and well done. I think this one has the widest appeal. And the plot twists are more believable if no less shocking. Chad Allen is not a standard detective - he actually gets beaten up, he's gay, and he's also not always right at the drop of a hat. The surprise here is the re-emergence of Margot Kidder (Lois Lane to Christopher Reeve's Superman) in a far more mature and gritty portrayal of an older Lesbian. She makes the character have both strength and weaknesses. It is a subtle portrayal. If it carries with it some of the turmoil Ms. Kidder has gone through herself, that's all to the better.I look forward to more in this series.
