Too many iterations of her same basic plot.
Please let me not know what's coming by seeing the page number just once. Then it'll be a really great read that accommodates your wonderful imagination in your NY settings.

Throughly enjoyed!
The interaction between Coop, Mercer and especially Chapman are very real. Having been a detective, I can just hear the conversations and they make me chuckle. All of the books are quick reads that you really don't want to put down. While I'm sure that Fairsten took some leeway with some of the forensic facts the books are truly enjoyable.

Another fine work of writing by Linda Fairstein
There is only one problem with reading Linda Fairstein's novels. I am up so late at night because I cannot put them down and 'Entombed' is no exception! The plot and characters along with the combination of history and the eerie unknown makes this one an enjoyable novel to read.

A Bit Much
I don't mind a little history to back up some interesting turn of events but I found myself yawning and wondering when the action was going to justify all the education. I kept losing the characters, the plots disconnected. I found I enjoyed the few pages at the end of book about her next novel. I liked the format, however. Bigger book, easier on the eyes...not my favorite LF novel.

Interesting Plot Line
A very good story from Linda Fairstein. I have read all her novels and really enjoy her writing style..enjoy the banter between the major characters and their personal lives. Fairstein does good job of keeping me engaged with the plot...

What a ride!
I was able to read all of Fairstein's book in quick succession. I love it when I find an established author and I can sit and read several books in a row! I loved each of these books. I teach high school English, and I have gotten several of my students hooked as well!

Excellent
Highly recommend. Being a fan of Poe's, I like how he and his work are involved in the story.

Fast Read
Fast paced, doesn't slow down a bit. May even go out and read the works of Edgar Allan Poe after learning about his work while reading this fast paced, doesn't slow down for a minute novel. Look forward to more from Linda Fairstein in the future.

Ms.Fairstein Never Fails To Satisfy !
I absolutely loved this latest book of Ms. Fairstein's. Could barely wait to get my hands on it and now that I've read it,I can hardly wait for her next outstanding book. I've read every novel and must say she not only maintains her great writing about Alex Cooper,but gives more. The details brought up in the author's books about NYC are both sites I have heard of and some I have not. So I will have my own investigation of Poe's Cottage and more. Thank you for writing.

Great plot, wonderful read!
Another great legal thriller from Linda Fairstein. I do have one issue with this book: Alex Cooper definitely has it all - a great job, a healthy bank account thanks to her Dad's invention, a great circle of friends. Why can't this sexy, smart, savvy, successful ADA find a soulmate? I mean, is Alex's friend, Joan Stafford, the only one who sees that Alex Cooper and Mike Chapman are meant for each other? Why is it that Alex doesn't have a clue - for all her streetsmarts. I know Fairstein's books isn't meant to be a romance but after reading all her books and obviously, getting to know all the characters, it's amazing that Alex and Mike still haven't resolved their relationship. I do hope Fairstein's next book will finally address this issue. I think Alex's personal life is just as important as her very successful professional life. Well, I can only hope for the best for Alex and Mike.

Exciting-on a par with Patricia Cornwell
Manhattan District Attorney¿s Office Sex Crimes Chief Prosecutor Alexandra ¿Alex¿ Cooper and NYPD Special Victims Squad police detectives Mercer Wallace and Mike Chapman believe they finally have a break in the Silk Stocking rape murder cases. The apparent latest victim Annika Jelt still lived thanks to a cop providing emergency first aid. The case has gone nowhere for several years, but with a potential eye witness and semen enabling DNA testing, hopes rise until the law enforcement officials conclude that a copycat killer is more likely on the prowl.................... As Alex, with pressure from her boss works the serial rapist-killer case, NYU begins renovating the area surrounding the school. At an NYU law school gala workers tear down a wall in a townhouse where Edgar Allan Poe once resided and the remains of a woman is uncovered. Forensics concludes that the woman was walled in alive back in the late 1970s. As clues surface that begin to link her cases, Alex turns to the Raven Society for assistance fearing that one of its scholars might prove to be the one behind the nevermore rape homicides....................... Linda Fairstein¿s latest sex crimes thriller is an intriguing New York romp as Alex and her cohorts travel the city hitting popular and not so known Poe locations in an effort to uncover the killer(s). The story line is action-packed, as the heroine and her two detectives know that they race against time to prevent another rape-homicide from happening. Alex remains a strong central figure to admire who holds the tale together, but the plot hums because using Poe provides a freshness to this strong combo legal thriller-police procedural urban series (see THE DEAD-HOUSE, FINAL JEOPARDY, and THE KILLS, etc.)............................
