Title: Ordinary Mystery/Detective Book
Review: Speak Of The Dead is the second in the Gabe Wager mystery series and the first in which he is a homicide cop. Wager is the standard good cop who breaks cases due to his work ethic and insight without taking the easy way out.In this book, Wager is investigating a murder mystery where the corpseless head (as opposed to headless corpse) is found in the Denver botanical gardens.Dated somewhat in terms of crome sophistication, being written in 1979, it doesn't ride about the level of an ordinary detective book. No real twists and turns in the plot. Its not a *bad* book, but there isn't anything to particularly recommend it. I would give it 2&1/2 stars if I had that option, but can't bring myself to round up to 3.
