"One set in Boston, one is set in Santa Fe. I liked the latter better. The Boston one is about basketball, and just sort of...stopped, rather than ending. The Santa Fe story is about the art scene, and was just a better story. Better reader too, much more consistent in his voices." — Lora (4 out of 5 stars)

“Those who admire risk, take note: two authors at the top of their game have done something quite new. Those who fear change, take heart: the results are just fine.”
“Sure to appeal to new readers as well as established fans, the stories are complementary but distinctly separate and without crossover characters.”
“Oh-so-refreshingly readable.”
" Two mysteries written each by a wife & husband combo. "
" More about the detectives and less about the actual mystery. "
" Individually I love these authors but as a joint venture this one just didnt really get going for for me. Maybe a case of going into it with high expectations "
" This would have been rated higher if Jonathan's wife would have had no part in it. "
" Felt more like two quickly-finished stories than a book with two good sides. Still, the 'flip-me-upside-down' was pretty cool. "
" This book contains two short stories about murder mysteries. One taking place in Boston and another in New Mexico. Not much of a plot to either mystery. Easy to read, but not much character development or plot. "
" Can I give two ratings since it was two separate stories? I enjoyed the short story which took place in Boston but felt the one that took place in Santa Fe fell flat. "
" Two good, short detective stories. "
" with Faye Kellerman "
" I expected a joint effort murder mystery, what I got was two separate books with one cover. Very disappointed. "
" I liked the characters. And I loved having a book (or half one technically) that I could read in a couple of hours. "
" Two homicides taking place in two different places. Holiday stories at that. Not much plot, short stories, but quick reading. "
" Hopefully there are more of these novels to come from this couple!!! Keep up the funtastic work!! "
" I enjoy Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series and Faye Kellerman's Rita Lazarus and Peter Decker series. This book did not live up to their reputations. It was too easy to predict and the story lines were not well developed. It was actually two different stories in one book. "
" I thought the endings were a bit abrupt on both stories. "
" Second book by Faye Kellerman again never again. This time written with her husband but same result. Characters okay but ending terrible. "
" I was hoping that with both my favorite authors this book would be a lot better, don't get me wrong I liked it, but was wanting more. A good quick read on a rainy day, bot not typical of them. "
" Actually listened while hiking to the book. Entertaining enough to keep my interest. Kind of wished the SanteFe version would expand into another book. I can relate to Steve Katz. "
" This is when I stopped reading Faye and Jonathan. Maybe I just need a break from Alex Delaware. I'll be back though. They are good. "
" I was not impressed with this book. I have read Faye Kellerman's Ritual Bath. And I thought that was good. but this collaborative effort was not that great. "
" I like Faye's Peter Decker series better. "
" I don't enjoy books where Jonathan and Faye Kellerman write together as much as one's written entirely by Jonathan Kellerman, but this was a good mystery. "
" This one was alright. Both stories ended pretty quickly...a lot of build up for nothing. I thought the second story was better than the first. "
" Good Stories "
" I was disappointed in this joint effort by husband-and-wife authors Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. Each story read more like half of a story, not a fully-developed tale. "
" Two completely separate stories in one book. Why? The accents in the first story will annoy you if you are from Boston! I swear we don't sound that stupid ;^) "
" Cute idea, but it didn't work for me. I love Jonathan's and Faye's books on an individual basis, but trying to make a "crossover" didn't do it for me. I thought both halves were weak. "
" not what I thought--thought they wrote a book together. This is two separate stories. good though "
" A pair of short stories, one each by husband and wife Faye an Jonathan Kellerman. Neither is brilliant but they,re both good detective stories by a pair of competent writers. "
" This book disappointed me. I thought that the 2 homicides would some how be related, but not so. It was OK as 2 short stories but not thier best work. "
