An excellent follow up to a strong first novel from Carl Spence. A light and engaging read with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Spence builds a believable, likeable and relatably flawed character in Tom Greer. Entertainment follows as each new clue leads to further speculation by the reader, who will undoubtedly begin to wonder "what if I could be a private investigator...".
The first novel serves a nice backdrop for the character (and is definitely worth a read), however the book stands alone as a self contained story and new readers will have no trouble diving into Thomas J Greer, PI.
