I am a long term admirer, think he is a beautiful writer but with this book he seems to have misplaced his mojo. I had a sad sense that he was turning the handle and that the juice had gone out of his flow.

Possibly the missing piece in between the first books. There is something so sad in this book with the pain of Charlies loss still so raw, I cld almost feel it. And always with Angel and Louis by his side. Different from the others but in no way less enjoyable.

More detective novel than his usual blend of supernatural suspense. Still satisfying though.
