Publisher Description
Nationally best-selling author Michael McGarrity's Slow Kill is a stunning addition to a series The New York Times hails as "robust." When Santa Fe police chief Kevin Kerney finds the dead body of hotel magnate Clifford Spalding, he thinks he knows who to talk to, as the deceased man had known enemies. But little does Kerney know that the truth may go back 30 years to the day when Spalding's son mysteriously disappeared.

"I enjoyed the book, it was a good mystery and the details about the horses were fairly good. The only thing that was glaringly wrong was that no one would buy a race horse to train to become a cutting horse. That is why I gave it only 4 stars. "
— Debbie (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“As in McGarrity’s eight previous Kerney novels, the author excels at detailing police procedures as well as creating a homespun, wry tone.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Guidall reading a book is like having Michael Jordan on your basketball team: you already know it’s going to be great. Guidall’s delivery is impeccable.”
— AudioFile -
“McGarrity juggles police procedural and domestic story lines effectively, drawing readers into the dynamics of Kerney’s long-distance marriage just as he unerringly charts the painstaking investigative work that defines the lives of real-world cops. Precise realism remains McGarrity’s hallmark; his own experience as a deputy sheriff and as a therapist working with abuse victims informs his fiction on every page.”

" Authors of series need to change up the scenery for a book or two, sure, but when one of the best thing about a series is its location, that strategy doesn't work to hold reader interest. Still, not a bad mystery. "
— Ryan, 11/26/2013 -
" I skimmed to the end about 3/4 through it. It just went way too slow for what was actually going on. "
— Elaine, 10/25/2013 -
" Good mystery - a little weak on the ending. Listened to this audiobook. "
— Nora, 8/22/2013 -
" A great mystery and whodunit. I enjoyed this book. Not the greatest I have read but a very good read and recommend. "
— Rebecca, 3/11/2013 -
" Slow build-up in the initial 1/3, but the story builds up well. Plots are realistic enough, with no big drama. Good details on the otherwise mundane police work. A reasonable read. "
— tiddle, 1/28/2013 -
" Modern lawman mystery set in New Mexico. "
— Gypsy, 10/14/2012 -
" It had been a while since I had read anything by Michael McGarrity and now I am wondering why. For some reason his name and books slipped from my "to read" list, but now he is back near the top. "
— Cheryle, 6/13/2012 -
" I love this series, but this one did not capture my attention as much as previous books. "
— Carol, 2/10/2012 -
" This author gets better with each edition. He still ends books a little abruptly. "
— Pam, 10/23/2011 -
" Another good story with lots of NM trivia. Fast read. "
— Glena, 10/3/2011 -
" Loved it. Complex plot kept me guessing. The protagonist seems like a real guy with all sorts of personal problems to deal with as he moves along in his professional life. McGarrity keeps getting better. "
— Brinn, 9/9/2011 -
" Good change of pace for Kerney. He is learning to let his subordinates do some of the work. His marriage would be doomed if he wasn't loaded with money, thats for sure. She seems only happy to be part of his life when he buys her expensive houses. "
— Mary, 6/5/2011 -
