3.0 out of 5 stars
Good despite ludicrous premise,
By
This review is from: Unfit to Plead (Hardcover)
Look, blending the supernatural with the logical is more often than not a path to complete incoherence. This book manages by not being explicit about what world is real, and showing us what the characters see, and as such is a nice technical mystery with plenty of misleading clues and a careful architecture of doubts to clue us in to who is guilty -- entirely independently of any analysis of his nutty New Age satanism. "Jacko" Jackson, despite the moronic name, is an engaging character and the observations about modern society and human nature between the lines are quite rewarding. This book is not literature, being one of those crazy ventures where everyone but the killer is somehow sexier than people are in real life, but it makes for a good brainy read where most mysteries do not even try.
