A review by craniac
Smoke by Joe Ide

3.0

Kind of a guilty pleasure for fans of the series, because you already know and love the characters, so you sort of forgive all of the many plot points that jarringly intersect. I like the fact that IQ actually experiences PTSD after all the violence he has been through and isn't just a cartoon character. It may be fussiness on my part, but the depictions of the serial killers felt like a very cartoonish, violent version of Home Alone. That said, I stayed up late to finish this, as I have with other books in the series.
