I enjoyed Too Many Murders by Colleen McCullough which is our Crime Club's April book. Until the book was nominated, I was unaware McCullough wrote murder. The story is set in 1967 east coast USA in a relatively small town where police are confounded by 12 murders occurring on the same day. Chief of detectives Captain Carmine Delmonico heads the investigations and is at first puzzled at the timing of such an unusual occurrence. A few of the victims were members of a prestigious college and also a high profile business dealing in armaments. This is at the time of the Cold War and Russian espionage seems to be a factor for these particular murders. With the help of his team, Delmonico develops a theory that all the deaths are somehow related. The reader is taken on a suspenseful ride as Delmonico unravels the mystery. 4/5Monday, March 11, 2013
