Review: Mixed Signals by Jane Tesh

A Mysterious Review of …

Mixed Signals by Jane Tesh. A David Randall, Grace Street Mystery.

Review summary: The murder investigation here is sort of lost amongst the activities of all the colorful characters. They are quirky, to be sure, but in a sort of natural manner.

AMC renewed its hit series The Walking Dead for a fourth season today … but the news was overshadowed with the announcement that its current showrunner will be departing. The Los Angeles Times has a number of statements from various parties on the change and what it means, if anything, to the series.

Setting out to find his family, he finds he is not alone and that others have survived the apocolypse.

The Walking Dead is currently on its mid-season break, and will return with new episodes on Sunday, February 10th, 2013.

Kirkman, together with Jay Bonansinga, have recently co-written two novels (to date) featuring the characters, the second of which was published this past October (details below).

And while it isn't a surprise they are linked, it is a surprise in the manner they are. Possibly — and hopefully — the first of series. (Click here for text of full review.)
