I started this book a week before I went to Arizona to see my great aunt and subsequently right behind COVID-19 tore through my family and got to me. My long read dates are no indication of a poor book. Life got in the way! And in a way, so did Mr. Death.

Not sure what I can say here that hasn’t been shared by many others. Shawn’s got a fantastic writing voice. From the first few chapters, I knew I’d want to meet this man someday. Bug is such a great character.

This book renewed my interest in the crime/noir genres. Thank you, Shawn, for this amazing ride. Can’t wait to read Razorblade Tears, brother.

P.S. I listened to the Audible version. Shawn or his publisher made an excellent choice in narrator. His voice acting was Grade A. Great stuff.
