Nothing But Trouble (2005)
In his ninth (Everyone Dies, 2003, etc.), Santa Fe Police Chief Kevin
Kerney meets an old friend, cracks a tough case and goes to the
movies. Fast-talking, hard-drinking, skirt-chasing Johnny Jordan is
less a friend than a case of nostalgia gone sour... Although the hero
vanishes for nearly a hundred pages, the series remains one of crime
fiction's most readable. Reviewer: Kirkus
This is one of the best books in the Kevin Kerney series because
readers have a balanced view of the protagonists’ marriage as they
struggle to survive a long distance commuter relationship with the wife sent to various
hot spots in the world. Fans who like to get behind the scene and learn how a movie is
made will like NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, a police procedural filled with action, intrigue
and a touch of romance. The mystery is well thought out with unexpected twists and
turns. Michael McGarrity writes his usual realistic and entertaining crime thriller.
