Loading... Street Dreams (2003)by Faye Kellerman
None.  astrologerjenny | Apr 25, 2013 |  Repetitious 'mutual admiration' conversations are tedious. Did not enjoy this book. (  ) Dadbrazelton | Aug 5, 2011 | Faye Kellerman's detective Pete Decker is joined in this one by his daughter Cindy, now also a police officer. The story is partly written in her first person perspective. She rescues a newborn baby from a dumpster, and the hunt is on to find the parents. It's a grim tale of dirty mean LA streets, gang rape, murder, and abuse of the mentally handicapped, but it's lightened by the cheerful soap opera of Decker's happy family of observant Jews, and Cindy's new love interest.

This is mostly a good read, quite engrossing. Like all the Lt. Decker books, it's a standard cop thriller, but it's also about maintaining Jewish traditions in a changing world.
Lt. Decker (as in previous Kellerman mysteries) seems a bit emotionally disturbed to me, but most of this mystery centers on his daughter, Cindy. She's also a cop, and her new boyfriend is an Ethiopian Israeli. Cindy is a good character, ambitious and smart. It's interesting to spend some time in her head, as she demands respect in a mostly male world, while also dealing with the vulnerabilities of new romance.
