Review: Another terrific installment in the "Fatal" series
Rating: 5 out of 5

Book six in the Fatal series by Marie Force centers on the murder of a star player from the DC Federals baseball team, after he has made an outfielding error and enraged the city.  As always in this series, the crime is an important factor in the novel, but is not the most interesting aspect of the book.  That distinction belongs to the very real characters Marie Force has developed over the course of the preceding five novels and one novella featuring these characters.  Their interactions feel realistic and the reader has come to know and appreciate their various personas.Although Sam and Nick's relationship continues to grow and flourish and this book is enjoyable for that reason, I did feel that the other characters' threads were left dangling a bit or were barely touched upon.  Very little time is devoted to Sam's father and his wife, to Freddie and his girlfriend or to Terry  and Lindsay.  Sam's sister, Angela, does not appear at all in this book.  Since we readers have become invested in these characters' lives, I do wish more could have been said about what's happening to them.However, I'm hooked and can't wait for the next installment.
