Dying Light |
|
 | I thought this was an excellent book - highly realistic but interesting characters and a superb gallows humour that pops up from time to time.
The author doesn't go for the gratuitous gore that some authors do - although the crimes in the story are quite horrendous the gory detail isn't overdone. The book doesn't need it, and it's good that the author is confident enough to realise that.
As with the first book, Cold Granite, a number of storyline threads run concurrently and you wonder which will merge before the end of the book and which will remain unrelated. It makes for an interesting conclusion, and there's even a twist in the tail for one of them.
I would recommend reading this series of books in the correct sequence; although this book could be read as a stand-alone novel, it develops the characters first introduced in Cold Granite which is part of the beauty of it.
I already have Broken Skin and I'm looking forward to reading it - I'm just reading something different ... read more.
