A review by emckeon1002
IQ by Joe Ide

4.0

Isaiah Quintabe is Sherlock Holmes from the hood. Blessed with powers of observation, and a mind that never stops analyzing, IQ takes on charity detective cases, and the occasional paying job. His Watson is Dodson, a sometime crack dealer and ex-con who sees IQ as his personal gravy train. Well-written, and constructed in a way that we don't discover IQ's truths until the novel is nearly at its end. Just enough of a loose-end in the Epilogue to guarantee another book to follow. I'll be waiting.
