My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The unique male point of view from several wacky characters in this novel turns what would be a run-of-the-mill police procedural, which I love, into a well-written, gripping story, full of rich description of each scene and characters who seem to come alive in the mind.
Maybe we all hear voices, like a couple of the detectives do in the story, but we take no notice. From now on, I’ll pay more attention to my intuition. Of course, the trick is to interpret the message. And there lies the crux of the problem in this plot.
The heroine dies right at the start, but this will ensure that male readers appreciate the story all the more. As a matter of course, more characters drop, leaving wispy clues which will help our detectives uncover a dastardly plot that threatens the whole country. An angel of death reveals a scenario of fire and cleansing to the villain, a tyrant who rules his followers with guile and power.
Police procedure out the window, double-dealing between departments; nothing goes according to plan.
