Review: Entertaining But Short P.I. Novelette with Supernatural Overtones
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 5, 2013
J.R. Rain creates another entertaining investigator in fast moving, albeit very brief novelette that will probably leave readers wanting more. Spinoza specializes in finding missing children to help him deal with a ton of guilt from being responsible for his own son's death. His latest case is to find a missing teenager who fancies herself a vampire killer looking for the vampire that killed her own parents.The book has all the elements of a classic PI novel, albeit one with supernatural overtones. However, Rain pares the plot down to the bare minimum so that the investigation proceeds at a rapid pace leading to a showdown at, of all place, a Borders book store book signing.The book is an entertaining read, but anyone interested would probably be better off looking for it as apart of a larger set of Rain's material. It's available for less money as part of a box set, but, as a standalone book, some people may not feel they're getting adequate value for the money.
