I love stories that hook us right from the beginning. In "In Gallup, Greed", Lowe does not hold any punches. Right from the start, he does a fantastic job of getting us into the action. From that moment onward, I couldn't help but be caught up in the complex and believable story that he has created.The character of Mirage, in particular, was painted into the story quite masterfully--especially with the subtext of mental illness. Lowe does a fantastic job of keeping us guessing throughout the entirety of his tale. Some images that crop up early on have great importance later, gaining additional meaning and having great importance to the plot. It really feels like everything is there for a reason, causing you to question why, and feel more personally connected to the story and the mystery the main characters are trying to solve. Despite some of the horrific events that happen, the story manages a feeling of quaintness and comfort. The dialogue and character interaction is top-notch. The ending is quite satisfying and a worthwhile conclusion to a great mystery.
