Boston Harbors Murder

by James Mullen

Drug smuggler murders on a choppy summer sea, a withered hand found in a harbor island landfill, a large pool of blood splayed over the cold concrete of a downtown Boston subway platform are all invitations for you to travel with Boston Detectives Jimmy Ketchum and Brendan Cobb on an investigation that moves with the speed of a weekend clock. During the summer of 1991 at the beginning of the Big Dig, they look into the disappearance of a visiting out-of-town family. Is it kidnapping or murder? While they search for answers, two international killers intend to stop all their questions forever. If that’s not enough, Ketchum and Cobb are trying to plan Jimmy's wedding of a lifetime to his beautiful bride-to-be, Sharyn - all on a policeman’s salary.

I won this book in a recent giveaway and I'm glad I came across this author. Being from Providence, RI, I admit that I'm a bit biased for enjoying things about the north east! There was so much detail in the story about Boston and the surrounding parts but the information wasn't dry, and actually the book was quite funny. I liked that Ketchum and Cobb had depth to them; I really felt I knew the characters. I liked how the plot came together toward the end and I found myself nervous for these characters. The book was good to have when I wanted to read something at the end of a long day. That's not an insult because I looked forward to reading it when I wanted to unwind. There were some copy editing type errors in the book but nothing major and it didn't ruin the story. The cover was really cool, as is the title, and they drew me into the book and why I wanted to enter the giveaway. I'll definitely read more Ketchum and Cobb books.
please excuse typos because I wrote this on my phone.

Murder suspense and laughter

Well written with more than a few good laughs. I liked Jimmy playing the straight man to Cobb. Plenty of action for those that like it.

I seldom read a book a second time. But, I enjoyed Mullen's story located in Boston and want to read more by this author.
