A review by caidyn
The Last Detective by Peter Lovesey
Did not finish book.
DNF at 71%
Basically, I got this email from Netgalley, teasing me with the promise of getting to read basically a whole series for free so long as I read, reviewed with a specific sentence in it, sent the link off to this email, and they'd send me it. Probably electronically. So, I thought, what the hell? Could be fun.
I was wrong.
It took me 20% to really get interested into it. It was at ~40% where I realized I didn't know anyone's name and would not be able to answer it if someone asked me. It was at 50% when I thought about killing myself to end this torturous read. I skimmed until I just couldn't do it anymore.
Imagine going over the same day from different points of view over and over again. With very little intrigue. Poirot had more intrigue than this one did. Thanks for the opportunity, Soho (the publishing company), congrats on 25 years being in business, but I picked the wrong series from your options.
