It's rare to find a début novel that is so smoothly plotted and written. <br /><br />Good to hear, too, that you were able to avoid the worst of the graphic violence at the end. I'm about to start the 2nd one as well, and I'm hoping there's none of that there!Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-18898688608196447892013-08-04T20:33:32.598+01:002013-08-04T20:33:32.598+01:00I finished The Blood Detective last night and want...I finished <i>The Blood Detective</i> last night and wanted to say that I agree with your review and grade. The genealogy was fascinating, such an unusual (at least to me) way of looking at what's around us and for unearthing information. <br /><br />Although I am not a fan of long, involved exposition by a killer at the end of a book (I'm sure there are many loose ends and unknowable things at the close of any investigation), I understood why this was necessary. Also, thanks to your recommendation, I was able to skim the last few parts and save myself some horror. <br /><br />All in all, this is a solid police procedural with interesting, complicated and likable characters. I look forward to the next.
