“It’s the first in the series. I’ve read all three. The main character is a detective called Adam Tyler. Full disclosure here! I have a thing for dark, slightly disturbed main detectives. I know it’s a cliche, 100% a trope, but I love it. Adam is one of those in this book. I think Russ Thomas’s point of difference with Adam is he’s gay and I don’t know many other detective stories where the main character is gay…I just really enjoy the way that Russ writes him and the way that the story takes shape because of Adam and his relationships with the team – and how he invariably screws up. It’s a brilliant book and Adam Tyler is a fantastic, layered character.” Read more...
