First in the Diana Tregarde mystery and paranormal series, featuring homicide detective Mark Valdez and Diana, who is a witch but also an "occult consultant" and old friend of Mark's called in to help investigate a series of what appear to be cultist murders in the Dallas area. You can tell this is one of Lackey's earlier works. It's fairly simplistic and amateurishly-written without much character development. The 'mystery' really wasn't a mystery at all--poor plotting gave too much away early on, and the ending was very predictable. Another of those novels that read a bit like a bad 'B' movie script. I have the second in series here, but I think I'm going to let it go rather than carry on with the series--here are only 3 books in it, anyway. I did finish this one, but only because it was such a light, quick read. Lackey should probably stick with straight fantasy, I think.
