Death Foreshadowed
Patricia A. Bremmer brilliantly creates the third mystery novel in her Elusive Clue Series. Bremmer's sleuth, Detective Glen Karst, moves to center stage in this chilling present-day story of a small town murder during a harsh eastern Colorado winter.
Once again, Patricia A. Bremmer has remarkably captured the reality of people face to face with a deadly crisis. The quick and seductive style of the "Elusive Clue" novels has been compared to the pace and feel of the television series "Law & Order" .
The handsome, Detective Karst showcases his cool-headedness and tempered logic while outside his big-city element of Denver. Karst must solve this crime with urgency while maintaining calm among his fellow detectives and a frantic town demanding answers.
Like the other novels in her series, Bremmer has woven an "Elusive Clue" word puzzle into this mystery novel. The Puzzle once solved, will give the name of the murderer. Beware, your detective skills will be challenged to find the puzzle before you can attempt to solve it!

Let me start off by saying I really wanted to like this book... and I did up until that last few pages. I actually purchased this book back in 2005 at a book signing with the author and never got around to reading it until recently. At the time I bought it, I was living and working as a journalist in Holyoke, Colo., which is the setting for this book.
Overall, I thought this was a very entertaining read and a real page turner. I think the author does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of a small town where everybody knows everybody and gossip often takes on a life of its own. As Bremmer wrote about the sheriff's office and the local schools in Holyoke, I found myself recounting my visits to these locations during the eight years I lived there. I was also captivated by the action as our heroes desperately tried to unravel the mysterious murders happening in this sleepy little town.
Where the author lost me is in the last chapter when
I felt like the murder mystery plot was left unresolved and that the entire purpose of the book was to share the authors own beliefs about This was a great concept with a poor finish.
