I won’t be saying much else about the details of the plot in this review, for a couple of reasons. Too many people had reason to want Andy out of the way. As they tell themselves, they really work for the victim of homicide, not for the police brass, and though they’ve been told the case is closed they’re not letting the matter rest. Everyone wants the case to go away, except for Liska and Kovac. Since he is the son of a legendary police officer, the papers are told that his death was an accident. ![]() The powers that be insist that Andy Fallon’s death was a suicide by hanging. The two are homicide detectives who have been called in on the death of a gay police officer. It’s set in Minneapolis and features Detectives Nikki Liska and her partner Sam Kovac. Something closer to NYPD Blue then to Profiler, if that will give you a frame of reference. ![]() ![]() If I wanted to classify Dust to Dust as a part of any subgenre of the mystery field, I would call it a police procedural. The setting underlines the strong characterization in Tami Hoag’s latest. The nights are long, and sunlight is at a premium. Every house is hunkered down to protect itself from the elements. If you’ve ever experienced a winter in the upper Midwest, you know how this book feels. Dust to Dust is set in the middle of a Minneapolis winter. ![]()
