“Impressive series launch. Fans of intelligent procedurals will hope for a long series run.” ~ Publishers Weekly
The Color Red brings the twisted Balkans to Boston and Cape Cod. A Slovenian-born billionaire and his second wife are found dead, hanging side-by-side at their pool. Some say the man was giving away his fortune; others say he was once an oligarch. Who’s the killer? Old Soviet operatives? His butler, his son? Balkan relatives? Detective Ivy Bourque and her team encounter many suspects, but none of them have a motive. Why would someone kill a benevolent rich man without an apparent enemy in the world?

Andy, finished reading. Great story. Here’s my take:
THE COLOR RED is a winning read with fascinating suspects, among them, a gruff yet likeable butler, an insightful rich man, and a complex ex-wife. All are captivating, but the lead detective is more captivating. Lieutenant Ivy Bourque, Massachusetts State Police, is wry, intelligent, and sympatico. What a great main character for a series. And, oh, the ending is a doozy. Looking forward to more.

[…] Let’s get to writing. This isn’t an eco blog. While I’m waiting for Godot, or for some Rough Beast to slouch toward Washington and/or Beijing, I read and write crime fiction. I’m not saving the planet, I know. However, I don’t let rogue primates off the hook. There’s more than one kind. To wit, there are murderers, including those who inhabit the pages of North Noir, starting with Bay of Blood and The Color Red. […]
