Killer Soul Mate

Killer Soul Mate is another wonderful installment the Jane Larson Mystery series. It starts off with Jane Larson continuing to practice law from her storefront office on the Upper East Side. Within the first few chapters she is threatened with an eviction by her landlord, and at the same time she is hired by woman named Jasmine to help undo an unfair divorce proceeding. Along the way there are several murders, and the writers do a fantastic job leaving the reader to suspect the perpetrator could be anyone of several people. However it’s not until the last page that it’s clear who the killer is, and by then it was someone who I had not suspected for a moment. I have read a lot of mysteries and to me this is the mark of a truly great mystery novel and it’s not something one finds in many mysteries. Having read as many mysteries and I have it’s very rare but it’s something which has been consistent in the entirety of the Jane Larson series. You will never suspect who the true killer is until the last page. The ending leaves the door open for Jane Larson to return and all I can say is I hope we have not seen the last of her.
