Book Overview

Set against the black backdrop of a ruthless Minnesota winter, KJ Erickson's debut novel is bursting with masterfully plotted suspense and intricately rendered characters. Prickly but gifted Minneapolis Special Detective Marshall "Mars" Bahr is a man whose devotion to his eight-year-old son is eclipsed only by his love of the hunt. Mars hasn't won any popularity contests among his fellow officers, but his commitment to his job and his investigative talents have gotten him a plumb assignment: Special Detective in charge of the First Response Unit, reporting directly to the chief. On a winter morning, when Mars is called to the scene of a homicide near the outskirts of town, his first thought is that a homeless drunk passed out in the wrong place on a freezing cold night. What he finds turns out to be much more menacing, a nightmare case involving a teenage girl from the right side of the tracks. With few clues and increasing pressure from the mayor on down to apprehend the killer, Mars is forced to turn away from the details of the crime on the bluffs and instead focus on the victim herself. Mary Pat Fitzgerald seemed to have a storybook lifestyle, at least from the outside. With a little digging, however, it becomes clear that appearances can be deceiving. Mars and his partner, Nettie Frisch, turn up some provocative clues in the search to uncover the truth about the young woman's lonely death-- but can they trust them? "Third Person Singular" is a multilayered screamer of a debut that will have readers breathlessly awaiting KJ Erickson's next effort.

An auspicious debut novel

This is a new mystery writer to me and this is the first book I have read by this author. This is her debut novel and based on this, I will be reading more by her. Her protagonist Minnesota Special Detective "Mars" Bahr is a fully fleshed character and this personality is aided by the interesting addition of his young son. He shares custody with his ex-wife of the son, a precocious eight-year-old. The son is a cook and a...

Debut has a Compelling Hero, Good Plot--An Excellent Novel

On a whim, I picked up this mystery by a Minnesota author. Within five pages I was intrigued; by page thirty I was hooked. The story begins with a woman-a drug dealer-waiting in her car to make a delivery, but instead, catching sight of a man and young woman getting out of a car and heading toward the bluffs near the Mississippi River. The dealer gets spooked and flees. Then we are introduced to a Minneapolis cop, Marshall...

on the mark

This book will be satisfying to most any reader of mysteries. The characters are well-drawn and interesting, the story keeps reader interest and moves along at a nice pace. The ending approaches more slowly than in most comparable books, but it is a surprise nonetheless. The author has her own special ability to describe the characters, and they do appear interesting, and you want to learn more about them, but some readers...

Minneapolis Mayor Geff tells her Chief of Police Turner and Special Detective Marshall Bahr that the murder of the teen could not have come at a worse time or place. Someone killed the perfect high school coed Mary Pat Fitzgerald of nearby wealthy suburb Edina. Geff orders Mars to quickly find the killer, preferably be another suburbanite. Geff worries that the negative PR from the murder of a homecoming valedictorian will...
