Review: The Devil's Cold Dish by Eleanor Kuhns

A Mysterious Review of The Devil's Cold Dish by Eleanor Kuhns. A Will Rees Mystery.

Review summary: Though the murder mystery plot is well-executed it suffers primarily from an otherwise intelligent, rational series lead turned into an emotional, irrational bumbling fool. Some of the hallmarks of what has made this outstanding series so enjoyable to date are present here but this latest entry simply doesn't measure up. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

The Devil's Cold Dish
Eleanor Kuhns
A Will Rees Mystery
Minotaur Books (June 2016)

Publisher synopsis: Will Rees is back home on his farm in 1796 Maine with his teenage son, his pregnant wife, their five adopted children, and endless farm work under the blistering summer sun. But for all that, Rees is happy to have returned to Dugard, Maine, the town where he was born and raised, and where he's always felt at home.

Until now.

When a man is found dead — murdered — after getting into a public dispute with Rees, Rees starts to realize someone is intentionally trying to pin the murder on him. Then, his farm is attacked, his wife is accused of witchcraft, and a second body is found that points to the Rees family. Rees can feel the town of Dugard turning against him, and he knows that he and his family won't be safe there unless he can find the murderer and reveal the truth … before the murderer gets to him first.

Between the evil and the deep blue sea …

A historic cruise ship, a haunted ship, the Celtic American Line's Destiny, sets sail from the Port of New Orleans — with a killer on board. He's known as the Archangel Killer because of the way he displays his victims in churches. And how he places a different saint's medallion on each body. No one knows exactly who he is or why he's doing this.

Jackson Crow — head of the FBI's Krewe of Hunters, a special unit of paranormal investigators — is assigned to the case, along with local agent Jude McCoy. Then Alexi Cromwell, who works in the ship's piano bar, is drawn into the situation when a victim's ghost appears to her — and to Jude. She and Jude share an attraction, and not just because of their mutual talent.

There are many suspects, but one by one they're ruled out … Or are they? In the end, Jude and Alexi have to rely on each other to catch the killer and escape his evil plans for Alexi.

This is a new ebook edition of a mystery first published in paperback by MIRA in 2009.

It's the kind of case no one but Jaywalker would take. A young black man from the worst section of the Bronx is accused of raping five women. Five white women. The first four victims have positively identified him, and the fifth is on the verge of doing the same. It's open and shut. But not for Jaywalker.

In his effort to make sure justice is done, even — no, especially — for someone who's never really had a shot, he starts looking deeply into character: the defendant's, the victims' — and society's. What he learns will not only change one man's life, it will haunt Jaywalker forever.

When New York University sophomore Megan Gunther finds personal threats posted to a website specializing in campus gossip, she's taken aback by their menacing tone. Someone knows her daily routine down to the minute and is watching her — but thanks to the anonymity provided by the Internet, the police tell her there's nothing they can do. Her friends are sure it's someone's idea of a joke, but when Megan is murdered in a vicious attack, NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher is convinced that the online threats are more than just empty words.

With smooth, straight-talking partner J. J. Rogan at her side, Ellie tries to identify Megan's enemies, but she begins to wonder if the coed's murder was more than just the culmination of a cyber obsession. And when Megan's roommate suddenly disappears, Ellie and J. J. know they have to find her before another young woman dies.

Pete Sawyer is a private eye of a different kind. The son of a World War II American pilot and a brave French resistance fighter, he grew up on both sides of the Atlantic — though he prefers his sun-dappled villa on the Riviera to most other places. He takes pleasure in a fine wine … and a good gun. His French name is Pierre-Ange, and it suits him. In English, it means Stone Angel.

Minding his own business at a favorite Nice creperie, Pete notices a teenage girl hurrying by — with a desperate look on her face. Moments later, two cops arrive, a young actor named Bruno Ravic bursts from a nearby doorway, shots are fired, and Pete's most dangerous case to date begins! The girl is Odile Garnier, and her father (former Grand Prix champ Egon Mulhausser) hires Pete to find her. But what is the connection between Odile and Bruno, who is murdered just a few days later? And why do so many clues seem to lead to the Cannes Film Festival … and to a certain director? Pete Sawyer must go underground — literally — to save lives and solve this sensational mystery!

One of the prisoners Andy has been working with is Brian Atkins, who has 18 months left on a 5-year term for fraud. Brian has been helping to train Boomer, an adorable fox terrier the Tara Foundation rescued from a neglectful owner. Brian and Boomer are clearly a terrific match. In fact, Andy hopes that Brian will adopt Boomer himself, once his sentence is up.

But one day, Andy arrives at the prison to discover that Brian has used Boomer to make an ingenious escape, and man and dog are both in the wind. The next day, the man on whose testimony Brian was convicted is found murdered. Brian is caught and arrested for the crime, though he forcefully protests his innocence.

Suddenly, Andy finds himself with a new client in Brian and a new dog in Boomer. And as he starts to dig deeper into the murder and the events leading up to it, Andy realizes he might be putting them all in far more danger than anyone had realized.

But when local gangsters set him up for a crime he didn't commit, he finds himself back in the clutches of the CIA. His old masters make him an offer he can't refuse: rot in a hellish Thai prison, or accept a dangerous mission in the neon-lit metropolis of Tokyo, Japan.

As he hunts the city for a CIA asset's missing daughter, he quickly learns there is more to this assignment than meets the eye. Yakuza thugs, Japan's Security Bureau, and even rogue CIA operatives all stand between him and his objective.

And looming in the shadows is Tokyo Black, a right wing terrorist cult, whose members demonstrate their loyalty by burning their yakuza tattoos from their skin. Can Thomas Caine defeat this fanatical enemy, before they ignite an international conflict that could kill thousands?
