A MYSTERY THAT POE HIMSELF WOULD HAVE LIKED!!Review created: 04/30/06(updated 04/30/06)

I recently finished reading "Entombed" by Linda Fairstein (2006) and I couldn't put it down!! Fairstein has the reader totally engrossed by the end of the first chapter and takes you along on a fascinating journey through the streets of New York City which are haunted by the ghost of Edgar Allen Poe to this day. Her research of the places and events that actually were part of Poe's life in his time spent in New York are intricately woven into a present- day mystery of the corpse of a young woman found entombed behind a wall in a home where Poe once lived. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good suspence story intermingled with the actual history of a city that comes to life anew.

A construction crew demolishing a historic building stumbles across a decades old skeleton entombed in the walls of its foundations. Cooper and her collegues surprise at the discovery of the corpse is further impacted upon the news that the building was once home to Edgar Allan Poe master of the macabre. The plot picks up pace as the lead characters try to solve two ongoing investigations regarding both the decades old skeleton and the re-emergence of a cold case involving an unsub(or unknown subject) familiar to them as young ladies have been victims of attempted rapes by Cooper's nemesis THE SILK STOCKING RAPIST. The pacing is fast moving yet Fairstein takes the time to insert much information about Poe in her story making it an even more intriquing mystery.

I bought Entombed because I needed a book for travel. It keeps you reading but can get a little tedious with the mundane things. Like what Alex did on her day off, where she, Mercer and Mike went for dinner and what they had. I understand the need for pauses in a novel to let your mind absorb what has been written but at times I found myself just wanting to skip those parts. Overall, I would suggest this book to people who like mystery novels it does keep you guessing and Fairstein's endings are pretty great.
