I liked it. Early on I almost abandoned it but am glad I kept going.
It’s a noir detective story set in Las Vegas. There is a theme about doubles and lookalikes that was intriguing and was probably what kept me reading instead of stopping. I liked the main character, Elko Wells, and would read a sequel to see how he develops.
