Book Description
“Rose Killer Stalks Parade” “Violets are Blue; Roses are Dead” Former Los Angeles television reporter Lisa Edwards could imagine the news headlines if word got out that someone was killing people linked to Pasadena’s famed Rose Tournament and New Year’s Day parade. A frantic call from her old boss at the Global Broadcasting Network has Lisa—now working as a private investigator—back at the network overseeing security on the broadcast of the parade. With a worldwide audience, the parade in Pasadena is known for its flowered floats and rose theme—a theme the killer has borrowed…leaving one blood red rose with each victim. Joining forces with Pasadena Police Detective Frank Patterson, who becomes her reluctant “partner,” Lisa closes in on the Rose Killer, triggering painful memories from her past…and putting herself in danger.Customer Reviews:
Full of unexpected twists and turns.......2001-06-10
Lisa Edwards' career moved from television report for the Global Broadcasting Network to private investigator after the death of her husband, Richard. At first everyone thought Richard embezzled funds from Techtranics, but Lisa refused to believe her husband could be capable of such an act. She investigated, discovered that Eric Wexler, the president of Techtranics, was responsible for the embezzlement and her husband's death. Lisa moved on to a career of private investigator and never looked back. Now she is asked to head up security for the Rose Bowl parade, and dead bodies begin to appear. Worse yet, she is forced to work with Detective Frank Patterson:
"Detective Frank Patterson was definitely someone who had seen too many `Dirty Harry' movies, Lisa decided. From his close-cropped hair, piercing blue eyes and square jaw down to the tweed sport coat and sturdy oxfords (the kind that could easily kick in doors), he couldn't have followed the Clint Eastwood role model any more faithfully. It was clear from the start that he resented her intrusion into what he perceived as `his' domain."
Stereotypes aside, Death On Parade is an entertaining little story full of unexpected twists and turns; including some colorful characters. The Kishels utilize their knowledge of television broadcasting and reporting with an obvious home-town insiders take on what goes into the preparation and production of the Rose Bowl to create an Entertainment Tonight whodunit. Death on Parade keeps the reader guessing up to the very last. Lisa Edwards is intelligent, attractive, and determined to solve the crime, yet her humanity shines through. The Kishels create a denouement that ties up each unrelated fragment of the story into a satisfying, tidy knot. Death On Parade is a good book to read on the beach or on a lazy day.
