Looking back from the end, the plot, as usual, was well crafted. As I was reading, however, I was struck by how irrelevant the murder victim seemed. Mostly, I was reading a paean to Central Park, the real main character in the story. That will not surprise regular devotees of Ms. Fairstein, since some New York site is always the center of her books. In this one, however, I thought the subordination of the human stories to the place story was a bit overdone.My real disappointment, however, is the characters. As for Alex Cooper herself, I am confused about how old she is. She seems not to be aging in real time, and yet the book is not "historical" -- it seems to take place in the here and now. I know that authors do this, but it always confuses me. I can't see how Alex can still be "young" and after following her through 15 books, it's starting to bother me that her life does not move at all. She still has the same job (Well, OK); her relationships with her colleagues have not changed, her bosses have not changed, she has no life outside of her job. In short, she comes across, at least to me, as not a person but a stick figure used to tell the story. She needs a life.Regular Fairstein readers may object that she has a life, as illustrated in the most recent previous book, in which she spent time in France with her love interest. But like his predecessors, he didn't stick around very long and the reader never was able to see him as a live person -- i'm sure most readers felt, as I did, that he was mostly a plot device.Well, OK again, I don't really care if Alex has a boyfriend, and romance is clearly not Ms. Fairstein's forte. But where I think the characters have really gone off the rails is with Cooper ready to embrace romance with Chapman. Based on their respective characters in all previous books, this would be a terrible mistake. Alex has never been romantically attracted to Chapman and she doesn't need to justify it, she just isn't. Fairstein does not need to tie up Cooper and Chapman like Castle and Beckett, or other dumb TV mates. Even worse, Chapman is domestic violence waiting to happen. Going back several books, and including Death Angel, his "teasing" has been inappropriate and hostile. It is NOT friendly teasing. It's eased up a bit in this volume, but was especially bad in the book that was about synagogues. My theory is that he's deeply angry that she has not wanted (until now, apparently) to be romantically involved with him. He feels inferior and blames her. How can Fairstein miss this about her own characters? I'm not making it up. He makes comments that cut Alex down in front of her bosses and in front of total strangers. She should stay away from him.In summary, Ms Fairstein's characters have begun to seem tired, and what may be her solution strikes me as outrageous. Go back and reread the earlier books.As a long-time fan, I hope Ms. Fairstein steps away from this precipice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Addicted *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2020* Well I have just finished reading 15 books in a row on this series. I think it's safe to say I am hooked & never want this series to come to an end. I love a good mystery with well written characters, throw in a little romance, a little danger, and best of all Linda Fairstein throws in lots of 1 of my favorite things "history". My brother has lived in NY for years & is a well known dancer, choreographer, costumer & set designer who travels around the world to perform (at least he did prior to COVID-19). I have been reading bits of the NY history from these books & telling him he would enjoy reading the series for that fact alone. I also told him that my list of things I want to do when I next visit him in NY is growing exponentially. Guess I will simply have to make it a longer visit. I don't want to live there, but it's an incredible place to visit. Thanks Ms. Fairstein for such a fantastic series! I am going through some very challenging things right now, including caring for my father as he is dying. These books take me somewhere else for the time I am reading them. I have always been an avid reader, my whole family is. I love that the characters & their family & friends become so real. I feel I know them & want to get to know them even better. I can see the words on the page come to life in technicolor, jump starting my imagination & taking me on an exciting journey. It's hard to put the story down & go to bed! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ mystery with a little sizzle *by K***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2013* ** this review contains some spoilers **I have to say that after reading the last book and being somewhat disappointed, this one was a pleasant surprise. I hated the character of Luc and was growing to dislike Alex as she became more involved with him. When Death Angel begins Alex has broken up with Luc and has an open minded conversation with Mercer's wife about why she's never lucky in love. Unlike the previous reviewer who appreciates the city history that comes along with these books, I actually wish Fairstein would spend more time developing the relationship between the characters and focusing on their interactions. I like a little bit of history in the books but find myself skimming at times because the descriptions and conversations about the park, historical landmarks and New York legal system seem to go on for pages and pages and...you get the point. I so wanted there to be more conversation between Alex and Mike. And after their night together in the park...nothing. For me it was a good book with a good mystery but until there can be a better balance between character development and New York city history, these books will never really be completely satisfying. And as much as I wanted Mike and Alex to get together, it felt a little abrupt. Looking forward to the next book and hope I get more Alex and Mike. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5117897-death-angel-alex-cooper](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5117897-death-angel-alex-cooper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
