Take Out by Margaret Maron
I love Maron’s Deborah Knott books. This is only the second
Sigrid Harald novel I have read. I was unfamiliar
with the recurring characters, so I was often to turning back to see “who is
this”, especially considering there are three separate plots and three sets of
characters to keep straight. Once I got familiar
with them, all the plot(s) moved along quickly.
The New York setting was on point with a number of
neighborhood businesses and interest points used. Lt. Harold’s relationship with artist Oscar
Nauman is part of the plotting along with a gallery, a mobster’s family and an
aging opera star. The plots are intriguing
and keep you guessing (I did quickly figure out one point, yea, me) with enough
ambiguity to keep you reading.
Good reading, but I still like the Deborah Knott books
better.
4 of 5 stars
