Book Reviews of Heat from Another Sun

Book Review: Tropical Heat Wave
Summary: 4 Stars

The plot is unusual. The crime is not a crime: the obsessive collection of violent scenes and film footage. Mr. Lindsey is skillful enough that we feel as repelled by the violence as we would child pornography.

This was my first outing with Mr. Lindsey, and perhaps "Heat from Another Sun" is part of a series, but I never caught any reason for the fabulously wealthy Stuart Haydon to have a motivation for being a member of the Police Department. I became weary of the continual street directions "right on Main, left on Elder, cross Jessamine---" This may be fascinating to Houston residents, but is numbing to outsiders. If you never know another thing about Houston, you will be thoroughly convinced after reading this book; it must be the hottest, most humid place in the USA.

I thought the book should have been slimmed down. It occasionally dragged and felt padded. The pace was uneven; at times I was so lulled by the scene setting and the minute descriptions of apparel that I had to wake up and sit up straight when a graphic, hard-hitting passage popped up. Mr. Lindsey has a unique style; and I will try another book, as the author was recommended to me by a highly respected friend from the Amazon Discussion Boards.
