pickA fast-paced, well-written short novel. Sam Gregory, insurance investigator, is called to an elite boarding school to find a stolen rare book. As he unravels the clues, the bodies mount and dark truths are revealed. It's fun, it's lightning quick, a mix of hard-boiled noir and supernatural horror that I thoroughly enjoyed.
1. Crime fiction that is grittier and darker than usual. The MC is more likely an anti-hero and morals are grey at best.
2. Most recently, Friend of the Devil.
pickThis was a fun mashup of mystery, noir, and slasher genres. It's a bit, or a lot, bloody, but also very funny at times. I hope it becomes a series.
Set up for some lazy summer reading on my swing. I'm also reading Galliant on my Kindle.
pickThis is a short novella for fans of the occult. Sam, a insurance investigator, and Harriet, a intrepid black girl with epilepsy, are the leads of this tale. Sam is called out to an unusual boarding school that sits on an island. There is a rare book that has gone missing. While Sam starts looking for the book, students start to disappear and there is rumor of strange rituals and grisly discoveries. A fun, and dark speed read.
