Love and Death in Brooklyn (Blades Overstreet Mystery) ReviewEx NYPD cop Carmen "Blades" Overstreet returns, and is thrust back into crime solving mode in this murder mystery, Love and Death in Brooklyn. The unofficial case surrounds the murder of his best friend Noah's prominent politician son Ronan, and intricately weaves a myriad and quite extensive list of characters with their own personal struggles. Although Blades is a return from Lovell's first work, Too Beautiful to Die, this book is a stand-alone novel.
Blades has become a successful entrepreneur since retirement. He has ownership in a music store and nightclub in his beloved Brooklyn. He's over the animosity caused over his departure from the force and is comfortably settled with his wife and newly discovered nine-year-old daughter. Life is going good. He attends a birthday party for Noah, where his estranged son Ronan decides to make amends with his father. A moving public display of love and forgiveness is shattered in the split second it takes for a bullet to end Ronan's life. Naturally Blades can't sit around and do nothing. The cop instinct is too strong plus his loyalty to his friends, and he feels it is his duty to discover who or what is responsible for this heinous crime. As the reader is drawn further into this tangled web, people close to Blades are intricately woven into the murder. I wondered how he trusted anyone, but his intuition and uncanny ability to stick with his feelings sees him through.
I was struck with the similarities of writing style between Glenville Lovell and Walter Mosley. I can see Blades reaching the status of Easy Rawlins if he continues on this writing level. Blades is memorable, an active participant in the drama and cognizant of his influence in the lives of those he is surrounded by. Both writers tend to use a lot of characters to illuminate the plot and build a healthy anticipation level. No ends were left undone, which is remarkable with such a large cast. Whatever Mr. Lovell is working on in the future will be added to my list of books to read.
