The Cheerio Killings

Rating:
Summary: Doesn't stand out in this debut..
Review: In this average mystery, Doug Allyn's first novel "the Cheerio Killings", a gung-ho Detriot cop tries to find a serial killer, and finds that a mysterious man who may not be who he says he is named Lamont Yarborough may be his man. Yarborough has a tenuous enough link to the slayings, and he has a record of violence against women, but nobody else thinks Yarborough is the killer. Has Lupe Garcia, the cop, been blinded by his desire to get Yarborough? Who the killer is is a big surprise, and things don't seem to resolve just right. There is promise here, but Allyn falls short here.
