A fun quick read, the jacket compares the author to Carl Hiaasen which is a major stretch, but the book was fun. One slight problem was with the action sequences, of which are are quite a few, during these, the writing becomes too scattered, and it is hard to to tell what is going on, who is doing what, and how it happened.

It was a fine story, but I really enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series, so...

More grown-up, a funny, rotten luck, main character who always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but who also has a soft spot for helping others and can take care of business. ( )

This is a remarkably believable, engaging madcap adventure of a story. I feel like I know each and every one of the characters. It's pure genius that made this ridiculous story come together into a cohesive, touching whole. ( )

Daniel McEvoy is an Irishman working as a bouncer at a sleazy NJ casino, when his love interest is found murdered in the parking lot. The novel features a level of quirkiness and humor that keeps the plot moving. If not credible, at least it's highly entertaining! ( )

The plot is familiar enough if you're accustomed to noir, but where Colfer excels is in his carefully constructed characters. .. Think Coen brothers, where the colorful and unpredictable characters become the most memorable and noteworthy elements of the story.

Epigraph
Dedication
With thanks to Declan Denny for his invaluable attention to my details.
First words
The great Stephen King once wrote don't sweat the small stuff, which I mulled over for long enough to realise that I don't entirely agree with it.
