Angel Lost is the seventh in F. M. Meredith’s Rocky Bluff Police Department series…it delivers everything we have come to expect in these books – characters that feel like neighbors and a handful and a half of subplots all neatly woven together. Detective Doug Milligan is set to marry Officer Stacey Wilbur. As their wedding day approaches, he is unhappy…about her assignment to jog the beach in hopes of catching a pervert who has been exposing himself to women. Abel Navarro’s mother is showing signs of Alzheimer’s, the new transfer from LAPD has a problem that won’t be solved merely by transferring to a small town, and a reflection on a plate glass window downtown is seen by some as a sign from God because it appears to be an angel. Just as these things seem to be coming to a head, a serial kidnapper—and perhaps murderer—who has been working his way south from Oregon, shows up…These books are a sort of cross between The Waltons and Hill Street Blues, and I hope there are many more to come. — J.
