From the first line I was hooked. DARK HORSE was an easy read with its witty dialogue and interesting characters. There were only a few misses. The most important being that Mr. Rain didn't use the character of Derrick as often as I liked. He just came across as an angry young black man. Having Knighthorse visit him in jail would've been an interesting addition. I wanted to know more about him, especially his family life. The character of God/Jack was very interesting. I almost started to believe either the homeless man actually was God in disguise or just totally wacky! Finding out who the real killer was did surprise me. Not being a sports fan, I found the chapters of Knighthorse trying out for the football team boring to read. I just skipped past those. But I understood him wanting to try and recapture that proud moment in his life and realizing there's more to life then playing on a sports team. All and all the book was enjoyable. I'm hoping I have just as much fun reading Mr. Rain's next novel, THE MUMMY CASE.
