Title: A Great, Entertaining Read
Product review: The Night Gardener is a fun, engaging read; a police procedural with colorful, flawed, yet likeable characters. Pelecanos entwines many stories linked by four murders--three from the 1980s and one from the present day that appear linked by their facts. Two uniformed police officers--Gus Ramone and Doc Holiday--from the 80s have moved on. Ramone is a detective with children of his own investigating the murder of one of his teenaged son's friends; Holiday is no longer on the force but becomes involved with the murder. The present day murder bears uncanny similarities to the earlier murders, and another current one. The story proceeds at an compelling clip, with interesting turns and twists, nothing unbelievable, just enough to keep the reader guessing. This is an entertaining, quick read. Enjoy.
