Money for Love by Peter S. Berman is a riveting and thrilling suspense novel. The setting is Los Angeles, where Shari Thompson and Jennifer Donahue are partners in the Robbery-Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. A string of murders happens within a short period of time and Shari and Jennifer, along with many others in the department, struggle to connect these seemingly isolated events into one large scenario. It is too much of a coincidence that every victim is of Russian descent; there has to be a connection. The female detectives are bright and thorough, testing out new possibilities each time more information surfaces or another crime occurs. The novel becomes more interesting as the personal lives of Shari and Jennifer are unfolded. The difficulties of balancing home and love lives with the demands of complicated, time-consuming police work are intertwined throughout the story.
The writing style of Peter S. Berman is fast-paced and easy to read in Money for Love. Mr. Berman utilizes just the right amount of narration and description to keep the reader highly engaged throughout the book. With the addition of Russian mob members, including the details of early life histories in Russia, a virtually unknown cultural group is introduced to the reader. This new knowledge adds another element of excitement to the well-developed plot. This intriguing book is a true page turner, as the reader becomes involved in a complex labyrinth of criminal actions. Suspense novels should keep the reader guessing and involved until the very end; Mr. Berman successfully accomplishes this goal.
