A fantastic new take on classic noir detective mysteries! We see the world through the eyes of a strong and smart female reporter who is struggling to make sense of a world that is falling apart around her—both out in the world and inside her own home. But Mona Breen finds answers, and even happiness, where she can.
C. X. Wood does a fantastic job of building an ensemble cast of characters that includes lovable heroes and hateful villains. If you like Joss Whedon shows (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Avengers) then you know how fun and heartbreaking a great ensemble-cast-story can be!
I’m so glad that this is part one of a series, because while Vice Report is super satisfying as one complete book, I can’t wait to revisit these characters to see where they go! And now that I’ve mentioned Whedon and thought about it… this story would make a great TV show. Maybe an Amazon Original since it’s published on Amazon?
C. X. Wood has got it all: great characters, interesting storylines that move along, a little bit of Shakespeare, a significant nod to the noir detective genre, and the collapse of the fourth estate, all in orbit around a smart and determined female reporter!
Full disclosure: I helped proofread the Beta copy for C. X. Wood, so I got to read Vice Report before it was released, and then again when I bought the final version you see here. I loved the Beta version, and this final version is even tighter! Bravo!
