Review of Cold as a Wedge by Author Alliance's Maiola Jay
Cold as a Wedge is an engaging mystery with a commendable attention to detail. Centered around Detective J.D. Reiter and his investigation of a local homicide, Cold as a Wedge clearly illustrates the strategy and intricacies of police procedure without overwhelming you in descriptions. It's story and characters are intriguing. The author takes such care to ensure that the characters represent the attitudes and principles of small town America in the 1970's. J.D. is flawed and chauvinistic, but still likable as a product of his time.
The close of Cold as a Wedge leaves unanswered questions about J.D. so I anticipate more cases from Detective Reiter and look forward to continuing this series.
