Move over Joseph Wambaugh and Michael Connelly! Another LA mystery writer has descended on the scene.TIME FOR KILLING is a great read. Fast-paced plot, solid writing, and a damn good police procedural.The story concerns an investigation into the execution-style murder of a Los Angeles Police Department patrol officer's wife. Evans sets up several possible suspects, including the police officer himself. This page-turning novel will keep you guessing right until the end with its many plot twists and turns.I do have to agree with another reviewer that I found the ending a bit abrupt and thought the author could have come up with a better conclusion. But in no way does it detract from a very good read.Well worth adding to your reading list! I will want to check out more of John L. Evans's novels.James A. Anderson, Author
