A great read. Second in the series, and even better than the first one. Intelligent, quirky, and engaging.
I really enjoyed The Last Policeman, but this second book I found disappointing. As I was reading it I could not stop myself thinking “I wish he had just written the first book and then decided to leave things alone”.
Sadly, I have already purchased the third book. I will read it, but I have no enthusiasm to.
Winters continues his meditation on the question, “What would you do – no, really, what would you do – if the Earth – no, forget all that claptrap, this is for real, what would you really do – if the Earth were definitely going to end soon. I do not normally read police procedurals and such-like, but these books are riveting.
