Corruption of Blood

Corruption of Blood by Robert K. Tanenbaum
This was still a Karp book, but it leaned a bit into reality as Karp was brought to Washington to head up an investigation into the assassination of JFK in the late 70s, much as Robert K. Tanenbaum himself led up an investigation into the assassination of JFK in the late 70s. There is a note at the beginning of the book mentinoing this point and assuring the reader that the book is fictional, but, of course, one cannot help but be intrigued by the potential connections between what comes out in this book and what was allowed to come out of the actual investigation. For a JFK buff, I think this book would be really interesting. As a Karp buff, it falls a bit lower than some of the others I have recently read. It was still ok, but not as good as the others. And had I had no interest at all in JFK, it would have been even worse. I llok forward to the next one where things will, presumably be back to normal. One point in the continuing development of the larger picture, this book introduced us to Sweetie, the Neapolitan mastiff adopted by Marlene. A fun character throughout the series.
