4.0
Oregon based mystery by Portland author. So far so good but guy is a little too hard-assed sometimes.
Update: "Skin" Kadash is a homicide detective on leave to fight bladder cancer. I still think the guy was a HA and loose cannon in his investigative work especially since he was not supposed to be investigating suicides that were considered closed cases. BUT I guess there wouldn't be much of a story if he was milque-toasty and accepted all of the warnings to stop he was given by his superiors. I ultimately liked the book although I think the first book in this series a little tighter ("Lost Dog), but the author does an excellent job of portraying the grittier side of Portland which is juxtaposed with the higher end neighborhoods he visits. The ending is wide open for another, which I will look forward to reading. I would recommend this to readers who want a good hard-boiled mystery with a lone wolf male detective.
