A Killing in Real Estate eBook Michael Castleman Reviews
I really enjoyed this page-turner of a mystery, set in San Francisco and balanced between the chaotic and rapidly-changing world of print journalism and the greedy world of real estate development.
Early in the book, his editor observes that the main character, Ed Rosenberg, who writes a column about city history with a strong emphasis on politics, has "a tendency to use history to comment on current events." She wants him to stop, to write "happy news."
Castleman uses the mystery genre to comment on current events as well, and I hope he doesn't stop.
I asked for this book for my birthday because the author lives in my neighborhood (I do not know the writer). I was not expecting much, since it was a "local" book. I just finished it last night and I must say it ranks up there in my favorite books, which include "The Devil in the White City" and other such accurate mysteries.
When I finish a book, I ask my self two questions. "Did I get lost in it, care about the characters, wonder what is next for them" and the answer was "yes". From the protagonist to the surly cops, they do come to life and you want to know what the next book will bring. You can smell the fire, feel the sadness and enjoy the excitement of the chase.
The next question is "did I learn anything". I have a degree in electrical engineering from a state school in Louisiana, so my vocabulary and my knowledge of social/political issues is thin. The answer to my second question was also a resounding "yes". Mr. Castleman's book also serves as a tour and source of wonderful information of the incredible neighborhoods I have resided in since 1993, Noe Valley and the Mission.
I am about to order the previous book from this writer and looking forward to the next episode in this series.
A serial arsonist has been lighting up the Mission District. San Francisco Foghorn columnist Ed Rosenberg is concerned as the latest inferno was just a few blocks from the renovated Victorian where he, his wife Julie and their two kids (ten years old Sonya and infant Jake) live. He could smell the flames three blocks away
Although he did not sleep well and Julie pushed him again for them to move, Ed meets his friend from the paper real estate reporter Ryan Duffy for brunch and a discussion on a 1934 diary kept by his grandfather, a longshoreman during the bloody acrimonious strike; the scribble is impossible to read for a layman so Ryan hopes historian Ed can translate it. Ed arrives to find a naked Ryan dead; bound as if an S&M tryst turned ugly. Stunned he takes the diary with him and begins interpreting what looks like an arson's scribble. Motivated Ed investigates his friend's death and the fires creeping closer to his abode.
The 1934 diary refreshes the exciting investigative whodunit as the readers learns of a nasty period in San Francisco history. The present day inquiry into the murder and especially the serial arsons is cleverly designed as the audience wonders who is lighting the fires and why. A Killing in Real Estate is a fabulous San Francisco treat.

This book has lots of local color, sympathetic characters, and an intriguing plot! If you're a mystery fan, this book is a definite winner!
I love a book that gets started with the most important thing, a good murder!
