Marianne (Australia) (2011/02/27):
Manhattan is My Beat is the first book in Jeffrey Deaver’s Rune series. The main character, Rune, is twenty and petite. She lives in a loft with a glass gazebo and her current employment is in a video store; she loves movies. Rune’s elderly friend is murdered and she becomes convinced he has found the million-dollar proceeds of a bank robbery in the 1930s. Determined to pursue this, she tangles with the NYPD, copywriters, actresses, hit men for the Mafia, illegal immigrants, screenwriters with Alzheimer’s and the US Marshals. Plenty of plot twists and quite a few laughs along the way. Rune seems to be a cross between Kinsey Milhone and Stephanie Plum. Refreshing!
WelshHelen (United Kingdom) (2012/02/27):
One of Deaver's earliest books and though not as good as his later ones (the Lincoln Rhyme series, for example) it's still an enjoyable read. Rune is a quirky, likeable character, with her flights of fantasy life and her love of movies. Other characters could have been developed further and I hope that Richard is in the remaining books in the series. Although it was slow to start for me, Manhattan is My Beat soon got into its stride and I flew through the second half of the book. 8 out of 10
