The Gray and Guilty Sea: A Garrison Gage Mystery by Jack Nolte, Scott William Carter

4.0

This book was a nice discovery. It had a really interesting external mystery as well as the protagonist's internal turmoils about his past, present, disabilities, and relationship hangups. Garrison Gage has a curmudgeonly wit and a really good detective's way of looking at evidence and coming up with numerous possibilities. I also really enjoyed the writing - there were super descriptions without being tedious; similes and metaphors that made me smile; and some really beautiful language. I look forward to the next in the series, not only to see if and how his previously-retired private investigations will continue, but what he's going to do about the burgeoning relationships that have been forged in this book.
