Review:Everytime a new novel by Faye Kellerman becomes available, I am reading it and anticipating the next one. These books are great reads, and Street Dreams is no exception. I love the intertwining of family issues, detective work, and religious traditions. This latest novel was particularly interesting because it deals with racism from a new point of view. Keep writing, Ms. Kellerman. Your books are great. Read more
Review:...and my title is saying a lot. What separates this from so many other mysteries, her own included, is the incredible character Chris Donatti.

Now, half a century later, 'Dirt' and 'cheap' are still two very appropriate words to apply to this book. If you like reading about a guy whose sexual deviations know no bounds then this is the book for you. It has nothing else going for it. Read more
Review:Overall this series was good! I would have been ok if it was fleshed out into a 6 book series though. Too much time elapsed too quickly throughout the series. The themes kept rehashing over and over. It felt rushed...not one of her best. Read more
