Review: Unfinished Business
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 24, 2014
This short story is a continuation of Marcia Clark's novel series featuring Rachel Knight, special prosecutor in Los Angeles. It includes many of the characters familiar to readers of Ms. Clark's earlier work. The writing style is fast paced with humorous dialog and frequent references to contemporary events and well-known personalities. The recurring characters in the series (particularly Rachel's two girlfriends) are likable professionals in LA law enforcement. In Trouble in Paradise, the three women take a winter vacation in Aruba (infamous for the unsolved disappearance of Natalee Holloway) and are caught up in an abduction case related to a reality TV show filming on location on the island. There is a hook in the story related to contact with a fortune teller that sets the stage for future stories involving Rachael and her friends. This is a great way to keep reader interest going between Marcia Clark's novel series publications.
