Too Beautiful to Die (Blades Overstreet Mystery) ReviewFans of Glenville Lovell and/or mysteries are in for a treat with his latest book, TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE. True to the form of most whodunit novels, movies, and other pieces showcasing the life of a private detective, Lovell definitely delivers! TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE is an exciting, action-packed, visually descriptive, fast-moving, and witty tale that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Formerly a New York City policeman, Blades Overstreet is at odds with the NYPD, awaiting a settlement from the city, and in a battle with himself over his separation from his wife. Blades finds himself caught up in issues surrounding his wife, his family; specifically his anger over being shot and wounded by a white police officer during an undercover operation gone bad. Convinced that the system is out to get him when the other cop is cleared of all wrongdoings and the shooting is determined an accident, Blades resigns from the Force and loses himself in bitterness and is set on revenge. As a result, his wife leaves him and in the midst of trying to get her back, he hears from Jimmie, the white cab driver that saved his life after the shooting. Blades feels indebted to Jimmie because he rescued Blades from the street after he had been shot and took him to the hospital, thus saving his life and becoming a friend.

At the request of Precious, a famous soap opera actress, Jimmie has summoned Blades to help Precious find her father. Uninterested in the position, Blades disregards his gut feelings on the case and accepts it after pressure from Jimmie. He accompanies Precious to meet an informant who supposedly has information about her father. She's never known her father, doesn't know who he is or what he looks like, and it seems odd that out of the blue someone has called her claiming to have information. What happens when the informant is found dead...and is later revealed to be an FBI agent? The NYPD come looking for Blades as a suspect. More drama unfolds as Blades becomes involved with Precious and continues on his quest to find her father. On the run for his life, he must find out who is setting him up while at the same time trying to stay clear of the authorities.

TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DIE is mystery writing at its best, and Lovell not only commands your attention as the story unravels, but he also tells it in a literary tone that strokes the imagination and emotions of the reader. I was thoroughly surprised that I loved this book so much because it's told in a very strong narrative format, which I normally don't care for in books. Lovell not only pulls it off, he does it well! The ending is absolutely breath taking and it left me applauding Lovell and setting out on a mission to pick up his earlier works. Though Lovell did an excellent job of visually displaying the happenings in the book, I'd love to see it on the big screen. Additionally, I look forward to the continuation of the Blades Overstreet character and further mysteries by Lovell.
