Cut, Paste, Kill

Cut, Paste, Kill
by Marshall Karp

This book is a hoot! Wisecracking Los Angeles Police detectives, Terry Biggs and Mike Lomax, are charged with solving a "scrapbooking" murder. Biggs and Lomax are called to the scene of Eleanor Bellingham-Crump's murder. By her body is a scrapbook that details the crime that Bellingham-Crump committed. She was driving drunk and hit and killed a ten-year-old boy. Bellingham-Crump couldn't be prosecuted because she was the wife of a British diplomat and was covered by diplomatic immunity. The FBI tells Biggs and Lomax about two other murders, apparently by the same killer, a vigilante who targets criminals that evade justice. This book is the fourth in this funny series. It works well as a stand-alone so you don't have to read the previous books to appreciate this one, but you will want to. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the works of Chris Grabenstein and Craig Johnson.] -- recommended by Donna G. - Virtual Services Department
