Review: Malibu Burning

Malibu Burning Malibu Burning by Lee Goldberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Goldberg's writing--it is so vibrant and alive--the characters step right off the page as though in a movie or TV program. The dialogue is snappy and real. And sometimes, as in this case, his villain is not all bad and actually likeable. But then, Danny Cole is a con man so I guess he'd have to be somewhat appealing to succeed. Still, it is his foolish sensitivity that gets him every time. Can't wait for the next installment --Sharpe, who looks like a wrinkle-faced dog and is dogged in his investigations of fires and their causes, Walker, who is supposed to have left his dangerous police job behind but who is always the hunter, aiming for the culprit with a incurable lack of self preservation. What a team!
