Fallen

Dr. Dan Ross is a well liked physician in Pittsburgh. He's murdered, leaving behind his bewildered, grief stricken wife. Commander Richard Christie is the man investigating. He's most sympathetic and understanding. He asks Elizabeth if she can think of anyone who might want to hurt her husband. The only thing she can think of is if it could have something to do with Pocusset Safe House, a home for troubled teens, founded by her husband. Across the street from Elizabeth's home, a man has been watching her. He notices that the neighbors are moving and persuades them to let him rent their home. Now he can be closer to Elizabeth. His name is Frank Razzi and he seems strange and perhaps dangerous. He's a script writer and a part time teacher who spends a great deal of his time traveling to and from teaching assignments. His background is that he is a failure and his object in watching Elizabeth seems creepy. The action is slow in developing and there isn't much drama. I didn't care for Frank and although Elizabeth was grieving, she seemed self absorbed and naive. Frank has secrets and knows who killed Elizabeth's husband but to spread this thin plot over an entire book was too long.
