She has, in an earlier book, Stalker, suffered agonies as a police officer. To Peter's disgust, his elder daughter has elected to join the LAPD. I had felt that perhaps Kellerman needed an infusion of new characters but recently she has made a relatively smooth transition by using Cynthia Decker as the protagonist. The author has been, for some time, allowing the Decker children, both Rina's and Peter's, to play a larger part in the books.
While Faye Kellerman began her published work with Rina Lazarus and Peter Decker and their courtship, the heavy emphasis on religion of the early work has shifted and is now more matter of fact. Jonathan Kellerman's work lacks the religious overtones which, to my mind, make Faye Kellerman's work so intriguing. While the two write in a similar genre, the writing of each is very separate and distinct.
She proves the adage that if you want success as a writer, write about what you know! Faye Kellerman's bibliography includes The Ritual Bath ,Sacred and Profane, Milk and Honey, Day of Atonement False Prophet, Grievous Sin, Sanctuary, Justice, Prayers for the Dead Serpent's Tooth, Jupiter's Bones, Stalker, The Forgotten, Moon Music (dark fantasy), Quality of Mercy, (historical) and Stone Kiss.įaye Kellerman is, of course, the wife of another talented crime fiction writer, child psychologist Jonathan Kellerman. The author herself has children so is very familiar with the joys and difficulties of bringing them up, experiences which she passes on to Lazarus and her husband, Lieutenant Peter Decker. An orthodox Jewish woman, Kellerman made her protagonist, Rina Lazarus, a very religious Jewess. Faye Kellerman was first published in 1986 when her initial Rina Lazarus and Peter Decker novel, The Ritual Bath, was released.
