This series is growing on me-- they are certainly light and quick reads. I appreciate Mira's sense of humor, although it must be said that, she is very judgemental. Have already ordered the the next book in the series (July) and consider this reading time well spent. Sometimes you just need a quick light read.
A Jack Laidlaw Investigation #1
At first I didn't think I would make it past the prologue (a rambling panic driven stream of thought as the killer rushed away in horror from his crime) and then I thought I wouldn't get past the thick Scottish accents and yes, Laidlaw does ponificate and philosiphize a lot, but by the next time I looked up from the book it was to realize I was reading Chapter 7.
This was reading time well spent and I will be reading more from this author. I do love me some Scottish noir and I still miss reading Alan Parks.
John Cleaver #2
I reatd the first in this series (I am not a Serial Killer) and liked it. I read through some fellow reader's reviews before I wrote this review, just to see if I was once again the only one who did not love this book. Like others--I found this book barely a 3 star. I also agree that for a shorter book it was still too long. The author had John always in his head droning on and on and on about his nonstop battle between being good and doing evil. Not a lot of plot development and it was very long on needless details. Not to mention, he deliberately kills a cat. I am two and done with this series.
