Killer Summer Review
I like Ridley Pearson and the main character sheriff Walt Fleming. This is the second Walt Fleming book I have read and he is an interesting character. This book presents some interesting problems and maybe Walt's lovelife is going to improve with a book or two down the way.
Good enjoyable reading for mystery lovers.

Customer Reviews
Predictable - Victoria Polk - Virginia, USA
This is the third story Pearson has written with Sheriff Walt Fleming; but given the simplicity of the main characters, it's not a problem reading the books out of order. Protagonist Walt Fleming is a basic character type. He's a straightforward cop who's good at his job, works too much, and is headed for divorce. The story involves insurance fraud, a spoiled teenager, a businessman in financial trouble, an "Ocean's Eleven" thief, and a whole host of other basic by-the-book characters. It's very predictable, and skipping paragraphs may be your best bet on getting to the end. Killer Summer is mildly amusing if you're filling time until the next best seller hits the shelves.
Pretty big let down.... - LuKiN - Central Florida
I am a huge fan of Ridley Pearson. I really enjoy the Lou Boldt series and I have taken to this series with Walt Fleming however this book is a pretty big let down.
The book seems to have nothing that draws me back in for more, unlike his other books. Maybe its the long hiatus with no Lou Boldt novels that has me turned off a bit but I really looked forward to this new book to release on paperback. The first 100 pages were abnormally dull for a Pearson novel. He usually has me hooked a few chapters in and once I am locked in I find time to get back to the book and find out what happened - not so with Killer Summer. Walt is still a very likeable character but the surrounding story lacks badly, it's flat and quite honestly, a little boring. It seems like he put this together differently or perhaps rushed it. I kept thinking it would pick up pace wise but mid way through I was hoping for the end..... and soon. I will not give up on Ridley, he is fantastic and everyone can put out a stinker once in a while so its alright with me I just hope he gets back on his A game for the next book and hopefully it will be starring his bread and butter character Mr. Boldt!
like others, I have always enjoyed Ridley Pearson's books, - Trudy Johnson - Atlanta, Georgia USA
Like others, I have always enjoyed Ridley Pearson books, but this one is really a disappointment. Only decision now is whether to finish it. I hope, if I decide to finish the read, I will be rewarded with something better. The characters are flat, dull, and give me no reason to want to "meet" them. Summer and Kevin are not even realistic or well thought - I have no idea for motivation for either of them. I do not understand why this book was even written except for the money!!
