Dark Objects by Simon Toyne

dark mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Simon Toyne shot to almost instant fame with "Sanctus" during the 90s.  His follow-up books in the trilogy however never had the same success and one got the feeling that his writing was just not strong enough to carry the stories.  However, with "Dark Objects", Toyne's writing perfectly matches the fast-moving and very engaging whodunit.  Definitely worth reading.
