Capital Crimes: two novellas by Jonathan annd Faye Kellerman

Interesting but not their best work*** February 10,2007


This book consists of two novellas by best-selling authors Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. The first,My Sister's Keeper,centers on the murder of an activist California state representative, Davida Grayson. Davida is a lesbian and a proponent of stem cell research. These two aspects underpin the plot and throw up a number of likely suspects.The second novella,Music City Breakdown,centers on the stabbing murder of faded recording artist Jack Jeffries who has returned to Nashville for a special event. Faye Kellerman's Detective Peter Decker plays a small role in My Sister's Keeper and Jonathan Kellerman's hero, Psychologist Alex Delaware,plays a very minor role in Music City Breakdown. Fans of these two authors will be disappointed by these two offerings. They make for light reading but are not on a par with these authors' normal work.
