Editorial Reviews

Anonymous Reviewer
Kim and her police detective boyfriend, Lt. Mike Gardner, look into the murder of Rick Bradshaw, an unrepentant womanizer found floating in the swimming pool of the apartment complex where Kim lives in Webster Township, N.J. Suspects include Rick's fiancée, his current lover, an ex-lover and assorted cuckolded husbands. Gardner welcomes Kim's help on the case, but he's mainly interested in persuading her to marry him. The romantic scenes between the pair flow?

    The suburban New Jersey apartment complex in Jacqueline Seewald


    The suburban New Jersey apartment complex in Jacqueline Seewald's The Drowning Pool at first seems an unlikely setting for murder. However, once we're introduced to the tenants and get a glimpse into their relationships, we're surprised that Richard Bradshaw, who was bludgeoned, stabbed and then tossed into the pool at La Reine Gardens, managed to live to the ripe old age of thirty-five.

    It turns out Bradshaw was an unscrupulous womanizer with enough enemies to make the case intriguing for readers and a challenge even for a smart police lieutenant like Mike Gardner. Gardner is assisted by Detective Bert St. Croix, a strong woman with a dark secret, as well as by the subtle extrasensory powers of his girlfriend Kim Reynolds.

    Gardner, a sensitive cop who bucks a corrupt political system (we're in New Jersey, after all) while raising two kids on his own, is an appealing protagonist. He and his daughters, including a teenager who is not a brat, which makes for a nice change, and Kim are the kinds of people you enjoy hanging with while trying to figure out who done it.

    The Drowning Pool by Jacqueline Seewald received an excellent review from Booklist which should be included here as it was with the hardcover edition of the novel. This is an outstanding mystery novel which features three unique detectives who work together as well as individually to solve several murders. This is the second book in the series and noteworthy.

    I thought this book was some what disjointed. The main character was supposed to be Kim Reynolds but she was only a minor player in the book. MIke's partner Bert seemed to be the star of this one. Kim came off as somewhat immature and silly. Mike's and Kim's psychic ablilities were basically nonexistant. I doubt that the author knows much about law enforcement as those aspects of the book were totally off. I am a huge mystery fan but this one ended and then ended again and left you with a feeling of dissatisfaction.
