Add a CommentThis is a delightful series - fun to read via traditional book or by audio - however, this is book 3 and I recommend reading it in order.
Here is a link to my review: http://perfectretort.blogspot.com/2017/07/kill-fee-book-review.html
Just started the book, really liking it so far, but I kind of wish the beginning was just a bit more exciting and easy to follow, because the old guys death happens at the beginning of the book! Kind of was like a quick punch, I didn`t see it coming.
Read previous novel which was good enough that I gave his next and latest a try. Put it down after about 50 pages ..... full of holes which takes away from the story's credibility. I would agree with Kirkus (book critic) that his comments re "outrageous logistics" is spot on. If this is one of the "dazzlingly acclaimed new writers in crime fiction", then we, the readers, are in for some sad times.
I read this before seeing the previous efforts, which I now see got mixed reviews. Pluses: it is a real page-turner, the style did grab me and make me want more from this author. Liking the agents was easy enough. Minuses: at the end I was hoping this was not the authors best effort. The plot is convoluted, but the later twists were not convincing, so I tended to lose my "suspension of disbelief" near the end. Maybe 2 stars.
