Kellerman felt some pressure to give us a large chunk of Cindy right out of the gate, but it was a little much.
She is on the one hand afraid to tell her father, hoping to establish her independence; yet, failing to may jeopardize both of their investigations.
Kellerman plays this conflict, and the others --- Cindy's difficulties with other officers, and the perils of dipping the pen in the office ink, so to speak --- off quite well.

Faye Kellerman has that kind of effect on you.
Just to add to the sheer complexity and heightened sense of tension, another two murders are committed and Decker soon discovers that Rina is a close friend of one of the murder suspects and is dragged backwards into his own wife's past.
Kellerman's characters are beautifully flawed and this is possibly why Prayers For The Dead is such a compelling and credible read.

 THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Serpent's Tooth by Faye Kellerman
I've always enjoyed Kellerman's books because, in addition to the core mystery, they focus on the loving but not always easy relationship between the two.
Kellerman hooks the reader from page one, as she quickly but effectively zeroes in on the thoughts of selected individuals eating at a trendy Los Angeles restaurant while weaving in the dawning horror that tragedy is imminent.
No one notices the young man in the green jacket who is watching the restaurant's patrons until he pulls out a gun and the lead begins to fly.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Meet the Writers
Kellerman spices her hardboiled crime stories with issues involving modern Judaism (Rina is Orthodox), putting a unique spin on the mystery genre in both this series and two separate but similarly successful novels, Moon Music and The Quality of Mercy.
In the latest stand-alone thriller from Kellerman, she turns her acute eye on 1920s Munich -- a war-ravaged city rocked by political agitation and at the mercy of a nameless, barbaric butcher.
In Kellerman's second departure from the Decker/Lazarus books, she incorporates Native American traditions and medieval folk legends as part of a Las Vegas murder investigation.

 Faye Kellerman Message Board   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
However, it is at the beginning of the second novel, "Day of Atonement" that the marriage is first referred to, as Decker grouses about ending up spending his honeymoon ensconced in a small tenement apartment bedroom at the home of Rina's relatives in New York.
There's been speculation that Faye might grace us with the ceremony at some future date in another novel as a flashback, but that has probably been wishful thinking among her fans more than anything.
Faye's upcoming book, Straight into Darkness, actually just goes back to when her Grandmother's and the other 2 women's murders are being investigated (I checked- Rina actually mentions the name Axel Berg while she is researching).

 THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Jupiter's Bones by Faye Kellerman
Faye Kellerman's popular duo of LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker and his Orthodox Jewish wife, Rina, return in Jupiter's Bones.
I noted that the title page of this book labels it as "a novel." At least Kellerman is being honest with her readers.
Kellerman explored new characters and a new setting in her recent novel Moon Music; I fear that her interest in Decker and Rina may be starting to wane.

 Bookreporter.com - DOUBLE HOMICIDE by Jonathan and Faye Kellerman
There were a couple of marketing methods to this madness: the consumers felt like they were getting more bang for their buck, and retailers would often allocate two spaces on the shelf to the volume, one for each cover.
DOUBLE HOMICIDE by Jonathan and Faye Kellerman puts this concept to great use as it heralds their first official collaborative effort --- or shall we say efforts --- consisting of IN THE LAND OF GIANTS and STILL LIFE.
The story is fairly straightforward and well-told, with the Kellermans doing an excellent job of character development and atmospheric description within the economy of space this format affords.

Kellerman has a separate writing office set up in the home she shares with her psychologist and novelist husband Jonathan.
The novel is way too complex to outline coherently." In her review of "Stalker" Joanne Wilkinson refers to "Kellerman's seemingly boundless knowledge of the psychological mind-set of both cops and criminals...
But she does not write with any kind of mission to educate about such varied topics, Kellerman says.

 Amazon.com: The Ritual Bath (Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus Novels (Paperback)): Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In this novel, the first in a series of stories featuring LA detective Peter Decker and Jewish teacher Rina Lazarus, Kellerman weaves many elements together successfully: there's a crime, a hero (and heroine), the promise of romance, a social message, and enough action to keep the reader interested in both the resolution and the characters.
The story begins with a rape; as heinous as the crime is, the fact that it has occurred in a yeshiva in the Southern California foothills adds even more complications that usual for Pete Decker.
Kellerman does add a little bit of `deus ex machina' at the end to smooth the way for future books with these two characters, but that is forgiven, since we do end up caring about them and their relationship.
