The Hundredth Man by Jack Kerley

2.0

I've read a couple of books in the Carson Ryder series and really enjoyed them, so I finally bought the first one and it's really just not as good as the others at all. I'd really give it two and a half stars (why can't we give half stars, goodreads???) as it drifted in and out of being enjoyable and then just being okay. I'm glad I read it, because back story etc, but the whole thing kind of felt a lot like that, just a back story for the rest of the books. I'm a big fan of detective novels, even totally trashy ones, I like to try and figure out who the baddie is, but this just didn't sit right, it was like two separate books and there was too many things happening. I've revisited one of his books a couple of times, but I think this one will probably just sit gathering dust.
