First book of his that I have read, mixed feelings on this one.
The storey is based on a character called Alex Delaware, who acts as a consultant to the police, and is instrumental in a tangled web of murder and life in America.
The downside of this book is some of the names and details of places, are meaningless to those readers who do not know the area, sometimes known facts would be better, like they travelled 100 miles instead of just naming a place.
The storey held the reader enough to show the novelist as capable, and the twist in the end of the tail in the final chapters, makes it a good read.
Overall, I liked the storey, as a one off novel, however at the moment I am not rushing out to buy another in the series starring Alex Delaware.
As a book 7/10 as a story 10/10
