Downward-Facing Death by Neal Pollack
5.0
So far I'm really digging this Kindle serial. I had never read any books in this format before, and while it can be frustrating waiting for the next installment, it's also pretty fun to read along and see where the author takes things.
I've read some of Pollack's stuff before at the late, great Über, and enjoyed his work, so I figured this would be a good serial to start with. While his previous writing was a lot more snarky and hipster, this story actually fits in well with the "cozy mystery" genre (despite the opening crime being pretty grotesque). It's also a funny take on the yoga craze in California (which is becoming equally common here in Austin), featuring a blogger whose entire "job" is visiting as many yoga classes per day as possible, and a former detective who now dabbles in criminal investigations in between yoga poses.
Definitely looking forward to finding out whodunit, and following this serial to the end. Keep 'em coming, Neal!
