There is something so comforting about revisiting well known characters. I genuinely like Alex Delaware and Milo Strugis.The familiar patterns of Alex‘s life: Robin, the Koi pond and the lovely dog, Daphne. Long standing series, (these began to appear in 1985) also run the risk of becoming formulaic. Unfortunately, this one falls into that category: horrific murders, unknown assailant until Alex figures it out. Maybe the next one will be better.
