About the Book
In her riveting sequel to "On, Off," featuring Carmine Delmonico, the bestselling author of "The Thorn Birds" proves once again that she is a master of suspense.Book Synopsis
The year is 1967, and the world teeters on the brink of nuclear holocaust as the Cold War goes relentlessly on. But the little city of Holloman, Connecticut, home to prestigious Chubb University and armaments giant Cornucopia, has its own crisis: twelve murders have taken place in one day. As chief of detectives Captain Carmine Delmonico investigates, he finds himself drawn into a gruesome web of secrets and lies. And as if twelve murders were not enough, Carmine must match wits with the mysterious Ulysses, a spy giving Cornucopia's armaments secrets to the Russians. Are the murders and espionage different cases, or are they somehow linked? When FBI special agent Ted Kelly makes himself part of the investigation, it appears the stakes are far higher than anyone had imagined. As the death toll mounts, Carmine and his team discover that the answers are not what they seem--but then, are they ever?Review Quotes
"Colleen McCullough... has proven abilities to evoke historical eras, and she does so again in Too Many Murders. McCullough brings her characters alive...and skillfully portrays the Cold War period. But her supreme talent is in her plotting (just ask any reader of The Thorn Birds), and Too Many Murders has an addictive storyline. " --Jay Strafford, Richmond Times Dispatch
"The historical setting gives the novel a fresh feel, and it keeps readers off guard: if the story were set in the here and now, we'd easily be able to anticipate the flow of the plot, but since it takes place in a time before DNA evidence, national computer databases, profiling, and so on, we have no idea how Carmine can possibly find a solution. A thoroughly entertaining crime novel." -- David Pitt, Booklist
"You may need a scorecard to keep track of the perps and vics, but there's still room for a final twist." --Kirkus
