Excellent . . . a winner

Posted review from: Jean Peerenboom's column Sunday, December 19, 2004 Green Bay Press-Gazette, www.greenbaypressgazette.com Excellent: Douglas Carstens formerly of Milwaukee has a winner in "Welsh Rabbit" (Carstens Press, $12.95). When longtime Milwaukee police officer John "Mad Dog" Maddocks finds himself saddled with a middle-age rookie partner-Betty "Boop" Moreland-the two soon find the answers to the question: can polar opposites learn to get along and even become friends? A standoff with a suspect spirals into deadly force and the traumatic outcome leaves both officers' lives utterly changed. It's a story of an unlikely friendship coping with adversity. It's rich with Milwaukee history and scenery. The characters are so real you'll want to reach out and touch them. It'll also make you appreciate the friends you have.

A novel of two opposites struggling to get along

Welsh Rabbit is a novel of two opposites struggling to get along. A grizzled veteran cop stripped of his sergeant stripes for unauthorized pursuit, struggling to last two more years so he can collect his pension and retire, must train an unusual rookie - a middle-aged, married woman and former psychologist seeking the meaning of life through a career shift. The harsh pressures and sometimes deadly requirements of their mutual job to serve and protect place a strain on their partnership, but when lives hang in they balance there is little leeway or forgiveness for mutual abrasions. A compelling novel of learning polar opposites who must learn to surpass their personal differences.
