quite a disapointing offering from SC, generally i enjoy his books but this one didn't feel like it was written by him, it had a very richard laymon feel to it but none of the dark (and delightfully gross) humour of richard laymon.

If you've never read SC before then i can highly recommend King Blood and Blood Crazy which imo are two of his best though his other books are all very enjoyable, i would suggest that maybe you give this one a miss though, it doesnt do him justice, try...

Well,

another great book from JK, this is the series featuring his psychologist/detective Alex Delaware in the 21st book. Its got his pal Milo the gay police detctive and also has Petra Connor the hollywood homicide det. Really good story line and likable characters.

this is the seventh outing for Sarge Lindsey Boxer and her pals, the womans murder club and although I read it in about 6 hours I have to say its a very enjoyable book.
