What can I say, this is one of my favorites. I recently finished reading all six books and love every one of them. Mitch and Des are the perfect team. I love how they know each other so well and is always there for each other. The entire town thinking they had broken up when they far from it was quite funny. I like that the book was not only a mystery but it also had its funny and light moments.
Glad I found this series and I am looking forward to more adventures with Mitch and Des.

I've read all of the Berger and Mitry mysteries, and they're beautifully written. David Handler is truly talented. I'm looking forward to The Sour Cherry Surprise, his subsequent Berger and Mitry mystery, due out in July. I just read the product description of the new book here on Amazon and it said Des and Mitch had broken up! Come on, Mr. Handler, say it isn't so! :o) At any rate, I'm preordering my copy of The Sour Cherry Surprise.

I love this series the characters are amazing and I love Des and Mitch. The support cast of Mitch's editor, Lt. Tedone and his Sergeant Yolie. The whole town is expecting Des and Mitch to break up and they are trying to console both of them by for Mitch setting him up with other woman while they expect Des to transfer to another town. Just an excellent plot that keeps getting better and better...

I promised myself I'd keep my review brief. So, I decided to describe the book (series) from my perspective: Well-balanced layering!!
-Plot development and pace: perfect!
-Dialogue: Real/brief/to-the-point!
-Character development: just enough/just in time!
-Mystery: inside of a mystery-under that mystery-wrapped around another mystery!
-Romance: Refreshing/tasteful (I'm still looking for a feather)
-Conclusion: Didn't see him coming! (Ready for the subsequent installment)

I read backwards in this series, finally reading the very first Berger/Mitry Mystery. From reading each of these was like watching the writer perfect his ideas. The writing is outstanding, the dialogue between the characters make you feel like your watching these people actually hold a conversation. The romance is very much there, but doesn't overtake the plot. I couldn't wait to read Mr. Handler's latest installment, I was not disappointed.
Des and Mitch are at it again solving a murder of a homeless man. Des has her eyes on the teens that just got released from prison, but bodies continue to turn up and the culprit is the last person she would have suspected. In the mean time rumors of Des and Mitch's "break-up" are flying around. Des is forced to examine her feelings for the man she's fallen in love with. Just as she has decided and told Mitch, the unexpected happens and she is forced to come face to face with her past. A whodunnit and a romance cliffhanger all in one. I can't wait to see what this authors imagination can cook up next!
