Review: Cop Job by Chris Knopf

Mysterious Reviews: Reviews of New Mysteries, Novels of Suspense, and Thrillers

A Mysterious Review of Cop Job by Chris Knopf. A Sam Acquillo Mystery.

Review summary: This novel is superb as a mystery, with an intricately devised and well-thought out plot. The author has a literary, almost lyrical, way of constructing narrative and is a pleasure to read. A superfluous, if also at times touching, subplot, with a rather flimsy explanation for its inclusion, is possibly its only flaw. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Sam Acquillo Mystery
The Permanent Press (May 2009)

Publisher synopsis: It's bad enough when someone you know is brutally murdered, it's worse when the guy was a paranoid schizophrenic helplessly bound to a wheelchair. Sam Acquillo and Jackie Swaitkowski tried to look after Alfie Aldergreen, as had others around the Village of Southampton, but now they were forced to wonder, what else could they have done?

One thing is for certain, Alfie's killers are about to know what it means to murder a friend of Sam, former corporate troubleshooter, former professional boxer and all-around ornery bull dog, and Jackie, a defense lawyer often described as an avenging angel.
