I received a free copy of this book from the authors' website. I voluntarily chose to review; this is my honest review.
This is a short read with more than meets the eye. The defective detective has narcolepsy. It was only when a sentence straggled off only to commence mid-sentence a few lines down the page, did I realize the author was denoting a time period the detective had fallen asleep. It was jarring reading; the first instance had me thinking nothing made sense, maybe a poor editing job was to blame. Then it struck me how effectively this was used to educate readers how disorienting this condition must be for persons living with it. What a subtle manner to make one a bit more aware that all persons do not live,or experience life, as we ourselves do. Masterful!
Adam Maxwell may proclaim his books are all just fun, and they are quite humorous, but the perspicacity of his defective detective is not to be lightly dismissed. There is a definite flavor of Sherlock Holmes in the reasoning displayed by Sidney; however Sidney is humbler than Holmes is prideful. He has a wicked sense of humor and is ready to make his fellow man live through some disgusting moments when he feels they themselves have displayed behavior he finds digusting in itself. I like that! He can set up a trap lickety-split. The results are truly side-splitting!
This was a delightful read. Not only is Maxwell clever in setting up and solving a mystery, he presents it with panache. His whole style of writing is brilliant from his ability in plotting, description, conversation, characterization, formatting, and spelling resulted in a smooth reading experience.
I enjoyed this on many levels. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a well-written and humorous break between other reading choices, or a time-out from the day, to get this! I will be rereading this on a regular basis and adding more to my library, as well. Outstanding!
