Review: The Odd couple detectives
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 4, 2012
The ending is fairly abrupt and inconclusive, but this is due to the fact the book is one of a trilogy and the crime remains a theme in the next book. The two main characters are an interesting pair and I can see them being the centre of a series of books. The story is quite fast paced and becomes almost econdary the lives of Max and Molly. Quite a few chapters have graphic language and scenes. Those scenes revolve around Molly, so I wonder if that was an attempt the make the differences between the two detectives more apparent. The switch between in your face hard hitting scenes and the dulcit meanderings of Max didn't gel as well as I think the writer wanted them to. It was sort of like riding your bike and suddenly having a bucket of ice cold water thrown at you, but then again maybe that was the intent. I received a free copy of this book for my review.
