Entombed - Alex Cooper, Bk 7
Author: Linda A. Fairstein
It was a crime scene Edgar Allan Poe himself could have conjured, only it was all too real: workers demolishing a nineteenth-century Greenwich Village brownstone where Poe once lived unearthed the skeleton of a young woman -- buried standing upright behind a brick wall.

An excellent and surprising novel, a fine murder NYC mystery featuring Fairstein's DA Alexandra Cooper; well-written, wonderfully detailed {take it from someone who knows Da Bronx!}, quick to read, touching, smart, and very enjoyable!

This was a very interesting story and I learned a lot I never know about the Bronx and Poe. I like Linda Fairstein's stories. Every one I've read has been better than the last.

This was the 2nd book I've read by Fairstein. I like the way she works in historical facts about NYC into the plot of the story. I love modern murder mysteries and this is one of my favorites, very exciting, a quick read.

Fairstein writes from her experience as a sex-crimes prosecutor in the NY DA's officer. The nitty-gritty down dirty work that goes into building a case is all here, plus the gift of a great story line. In this novel a body is discovered walled up in Edgar Allen Poe's house in the Bronx, a crime straight out of one of his novels. Only the corpse isn't 200 years old and it falls to Alex Cooper to solve the murder before the murderer takes her out of the story line.

One of Linda Fairstein's latest and best, this novel has the historic Bronx and Edgar Allen Poe as backdrops as the savy DA, Alexandra Cooper, assists NYPD in solving several murders and rapes. It's a good read as a mystery, especially if you're fond of New York City history.

Excellent book. This was my first by Fairstein. The Poe theme is what drew me to it, and I must say I got a pretty good "Poe" education by reading it. The ending was a little of a letdown, not because of "whodunit," but it was presented pretty blandly in comparison to some of the other action in the book. Still, overall it was a very good read. If you like your fiction with historical facts woven in, you will enjoy this book.
