Negative Positive
Title: Style married to Substance
Review: He uses a deceptively simple style that allows for an almost clinical examination of characters and issues, like Ernest Hemingway or Raymond Carver is writing a mystery/thriller. You will not only track down the serial killer(s), you will peek into the dark closets of their minds. Nothing is off limits, the detective, too, M Gantry, the hoochie mama cop, will reveal all about her sordid past. You will love her, pity her, you will understand her. By the time the story spins to its heady conclusion, you will be cheering both style and content. It is unusual for a writer, an artist really, of this calibre to pull off a book like this, in which the story is as good as the writing. I hope he can sustain the magic for a sequel.
