Another good Steve Dark story. Enjoyable series, for the most part.

This book is by the creator of the CSI franchise, and it's fairly obvious. Like CSI, this book is heavyhanded with its use of metaphor and awful puns, and it has loopholes that anyone with a vague knowledge of law will throw their hands up after reading. But the darndest thing is - they're actually kind of fun. There's a reason CSI has high viewership: it's just interesting enough to keep you coming back, just vaguely plausible enough that you don't change the channel. These books are kind of like that. Steve Dark doesn't have a personality, but he's enough of a Good Guy Chasing The Bad Men stereotype that you root for him. The killers have ridiculously elaborate schemes, but they're sort of cool, so you keep turning the page long enough to get just invested enough to read the whole thing.
If you're looking for something fun that won't make you expend too much brainpower, pick these up. They're fantastic "beach reads". Think of it like cotton candy for your mind - there's no nourishment to be found here (words are truly food for ones' soul), but you'll have fun licking it off of your nose.

First books plot way better. the killer was plain and uninteresting, definitely not level26 material. Steve dark did not blossom in this book, he was given the win

L’histoire était intéressante mais j’étais beaucoup moins dans l’histoire que pour le premier tome.

I had high hopes for this book as I loved the first and I was not disappointed! That being said I did expect a bit more of a twisted plot but none the less I was still hooked. The main character is that mysterious man that makes a girl blush!

This book wasn't as good as the first one, so I look forward to part 3 of this series, but i'm afraid this isn;t translated because of the yeargaps.. So I think I'm just going to reread the series in English..
