If you love to read a mystery that has a wonderfully convoluted plot with lots of misdirection, get your hands on Peter Lovesey's Another One Goes Tonight-- it is a delight.

Not only is there that marvelous plot, there is plenty of humor, as when Diamond delights in butchering the names of the two Professional Standards investigators every time he has to say them. Or watching the confusion on people's faces when they wonder who Hornby is. Watching Diamond at work is a pleasure. Seldom is he at a loss for doing or saying just the right thing to persuade a reluctant person to cough up the information he needs. This man is a consummate pro.

An added plus to the book is observing the quandary Diamond finds himself in when he begins to think he saved the life of a serial killer. He finds himself on quite an emotional roller coaster.

Fast pace. Marvelous plot. Plenty of humor. Stolen treasures. Good solid police work. Another One Goes Tonight is just plain fun to read.
