Come Twilight (Long Beach Homicide, 4)

His best yet. I really enjoy reading about Dilts's characters, and his character driven stories. Love the Long Beach settings, and his very real, imperfect, pain-ridden protagonist. I suffered pain due to a chronic illness for a decade, really appreciate reading about a very human cop who must live and work around and through this reality. Have bought them all, re-read them, can't wait for no. 5.

I saved this book for the weekend and all weekend fought myself: I wanted to read faster faster faster because I was enjoying it so much, but then I wanted to read it slower slower slower because I wanted it to last.

I am a big fan of this series of books. The stories are interesting and well done, and Dilts is always good about sprinkling in all kinds of his own recommendations for pop culture enjoyment, whether it's The Wire or a new podcast or a Long Beach restaurant or even a Subaru Legacy. Love the books and recommend them highly.

I sat down to read this book, and didn't get up until 10 hours later.
Danny Beckett is an amazing, multi-dimensional character, who never feels like the archetypal detective. Sure, there's a bit of Richard Castle-esque humor here and there, and it lacks the darkness of The Pain Scale and the aching nostalgia of A Cold and Broken Hallelujah, but I think that's the point - Beckett is finally moving on in his life, and we as readers shouldn't expect the same story as the previous books. We are evolving our comprehension of the man just as he is evolving his own self to move past the pain of his wife and loss of control over his physical surroundings. We accept that the story changes as he does, too.

I bought Come Twilight when it first came out, and for some reason, didn’t get around to reading it. Then last week, I saw that the book has been nominated for an Edgar Award and decided I’d better read it.
There are four books in Tyler Dilts “Long Beach Homicide Series”, and I’ve enjoyed each book, but so far, this one is my favorite. Danny Beckett and his partner Jennifer Tanaka are solving another homicide, but along the way Danny finds himself a victim, and this becomes a two mysteries book. I’ll admit that I figured things out a little earlier than I would have liked, but I’m also one of those annoying people who manages to pick up all the clues and put things together before other people. That didn’t matter because this was the kind of book I just couldn’t put down, and I finished it in one day.
There are great things about this book. The character development is excellent. I would have read the book just to find out how things turned out for Danny Beckett. The plot is engaging. I’m a pretty big geek, so there were some fun moments for me. I won’t give them away because they made me chuckle, and I wouldn’t want to rob another geek of giggle moments. As always, the descriptions are outstanding, and I love the setting. It’s always fun when you know the locations, have eaten in the restaurants, and have walked in the same places as the characters. Dilts does an excellent job of bringing the setting to life and capturing the atmosphere.

This was an excellent crime book from a gritty and believable series. Kudos to the author, Tyler Dilts!

As far as I know, Tyler Dilts is not a relative, but I wish he were. It would be great to have such a fine writer in the family. I have enjoyed all of his Long Beach Homicide books. Good writer. Good stories.

The very best Tyler Dilts contribution yet.

I am in love with this series. Tyler Dilts is so good. Very honest look at the Long Beach area and the characters fit in perfectly.

Tyler Dilts is a new talent that deserves high accolades. His books snag your interest from the first and keeps you racing to the end. Hopefully, he will write many more books.

I love all of Tyler Dilt's Long Beach series, only partly because I live in Long Beach and recognize the locales. As a die-hard mystery readers, he is the real deal.
