Nothing is better than when you start reading a novel and all of a sudden you realize it's so much more than you thought it would be. I began Frank Tuttle's, Dead Man's Rain, and immediately was immersed in a world where the caste systems between the rich and poor were blatantly apparent. I love how Tuttle describes the differences between the two "sides of the track." One side is dangerous and poverty stricken, while the other has "sweeping lawns and majestic homes." His descriptions are incredibly visual and you can easily set yourself in the scene. Markhat is a Finder, from the poorer sector. He's a man who "discovers things." In his worn weary land, he is a man of reason who's seen the best and worst of people.Without giving away too much of the book, he is tasked with helping a rich widow discover why her dead husband is haunting her. There are so many interesting plot elements in this novel and you get sucked in. It's reads well and has a great ending. I'm very excited that this is the first book in a long series. Highly recommend.
