Helpful Score: 2
Non-series book by the Kellermans. Actually two separate books in one cover. Both good, well-developed as you'd expect coming from these two authors. I wished there were more books to come of the characters in these.
Helpful Score: 1
Less gory than HIS usual and less character-rich than HER 's. A quick read...more like two novellas than novels.
Helpful Score: 1
Good book. Enjoyed the concept of trying both authors.
Helpful Score: 1
Two short, distinct mysteries set in modern day on opposite sides of the country. These authors are both accomplished writers on their own. Both stories are murder mysteries and not psychological thrillers.
Helpful Score: 1
Two for one.... 2 good novels, one by each author and both enjoyable, easy read George

Bring me to the beach. One story by each writer. Great fun!

This book was ok. Definitely not the best work by Jonathan Kellerman, but still a good read.
Not one of my favorites from either Kellerman.
A little light - the plot is not as deep and the main characters not as developed as I would have liked.
I think I couyld tell who wrote which story. See if you can.
Good murder mysteries. Kept me guessing until the end.
Good read.
two good holiday mysteries. I would really like more stories using the main characters.
Two short homicide stories in one book. While neither is predictable, they feel just like they are - abbreviated.
Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, Husband and wife. Each a bestselling author. Now these masters of the crime novel are writing together for the first time, thrilling us with two riveting tales of murder and suspense.
Double-Homicide: Boston and Double-Homicide: Santa Fe is a double whammy!
Double-Homicide: Boston and Double-Homicide: Santa Fe is a double whammy!
Double Homicide: Boston
After a basketball match leads to a fatal shooting, Detectives Dorothy Breton and Michael mcCain are looking to make an open and shut case. For Dorothy, who knows the victim's mother, the crime hits close to home. And for Micky, the investigation is poor consolation for being alone this holiday season. Then startling evidence comes to light. Now two experienced cops can either keep it simple -- or do what's right.
Double Homicide: Santa Fe
It's Christmastime and police officers Darrel Two Moons and Steve Katz investigate the killing of an art gallery owner. When he was in the NYPD, Katz saw more homicides weekly than he's seen in Santa Fe in 3 years. Two Moons, an ex-Marine, is discovering his roots among local Indian potters. But everything personal goes by the wayside as they enter a dangerous world where murder has been perfected to an art form.

Jonathon Kellerman and Faye Kellerman - the best of the best.
The death of an art gallery owner happens as we enter into a dangerous world where murder has been perfected to an art form.
Not the best work of either author, but if you like stories that you can read quickly and easily, this one is ok. Kind of like reading two episodes of NYPD Blue. No twists or turns and a bit too much backstory as a percentage of the rest of the story. Just straight ahead investigation of straight and obvious murders. It seems they both had these stories laying around, realized there wasn't enough there to turn into a full novel, so they chopped them down to the bare bones and presented them here together.
jonathan and faye kellerman team up to write a thriller in Boston and Santa Fe
Two tales of murder and suspense by husband and wife. They are both well-known authors. The murders are not relate.
Hard to follow, but not a bad mystery.
I thought Jonathan Kellerman's writing really predominated the novellas. They seemed chopped off -- maybe I'm just used to both authors' rather complicated story lines and these seemed just a little too simple. It was an okay book, both stories a little predictable, but entertaining.
This is really two novellas in one volume. Both of these authors are experienced at clearly drawing their characters giving the reader a picture of their lives.
I like the first story quite a bit, but the second one seemed to end rather abruptly. Like maybe their first version had a couple more chapters that were edited down to cut costs or something.

I liked the Faye Kellerman part of the book but couldn't get into the Jonathan Kellerman part.
Good light, entertaining, quick read. I enjoyed both stories very much.
Faye and Jonathan Kellerman team up to write two mysteries. One is centered around basketball, the other around the nurder of an art dealer.
Two quick reads. I agree with the previous reviewer who says they are more like novellas. If you're not expecting two full-blown novels, these are good stories.
Two shorter works combined into one book. I wish they had been longer!
Double Homicide: Santa Fe, & Double Homicide: Boston. Two cities. Two murders. Two literary masters -- Faye Kellerman and her husband Jonathan Kellerman -- all in one book.
Interesting concept, two of my favorite authors co writing a back.
Jonathan and Faye Kellerman together,what could be better?
Two novellas, co-written by the Kellermans, in which two new crime-solving pairs are introduced to the reader, in Boston and Santa Fe. Not as satisying as their Lazarus/Decker and cop/psychologist characters, but the Kellermans probably need literary stimulation, too, so who can blame them for trying something new.
Tow of my favorite authors writing together. What could be better?
Two "books" in one; Homocide: BOSTON & Homocide: Santa Fe; similar but different. Each is involved with good charactarization. If I was distracted when I reas it that is only becasue I was at Disney back at the hotel with a sick daughter while everyone else went through the park without us! But if it held my attention then it should be great to read for fun! :-)
The best-selling husband-and-wife crime writers kick off a new joint venture with these two short novels, published in a single reversible volume with two different covers. In "Still Life," Santa Fe detectives Darrel Two Moons and Steve Katz investigate the murder of an art gallery owner who made enemies as quickly as art sales. Set in Boston, the reverse novel, "In the Land of Giants," follows detectives Dorothy Breton and Michael McCain as they probe the apparent shooting death of a college basketball player.
If you like the Kellerman's books, you'll probably like these two
stories. A very fast and pleasurable read.

2 seperate crime novels in one book written by Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. Contains Double Homicide: Boston and Double Homicide: Santa Fe
Two bestselling authors writing together for the first time, thrilling us with two riveting tales of murder and suspense.
the usual kellerman quality...you'll like the book
two novelettes one by Faye Kellerman and one by Jonathan both interesting reading. Would not be my favorite but still good reading
This was kind of a slow starter but how can you beat 2 of my favorite writers in one book?
always fun to read
Pretty good read if you like Kellerman. Two short stories in one book.
The Kellerman's team up on this book. Just a good read.
This is one of the few books that Faye Kellerman and her husband, Jonathan Kellerman, have written together - sort of. She writes about a double homicide in Boston and he writes about a double homicide in Sante Fe. It's like getting two for one.
Well written by the 2 Kellermans, but a bit thin on plot -- resolves a bit too quickly, but still worth a read.
Two stories in one book.
I liked the first story better. I didn't mind the second story. The second story was good.
If you like the Kellermans, Jonathan and Faye this book is a winner. From the book cover: In Boston Detectives Dorothy Breton and Mike McCan are looking to make an open and shut case out of a fatal shooting after a basketball game when startling evidence comes to light. Now they have to either keep it simple ... or do what's right. In Santa Fe Police Officers Darrell Two Moons and Steve Katz investigate the killing of an art gallery owner and they enter a dangerous world where murder has been perfected to an art form.
