A review by sj_bradley
Black Rain Falling by Jacob Ross

5.0

I'm not really somebody who reads much crime, but having read The Bone Readers I was keen to read more about Michael "Digger" Digson, so have been eagerly awaiting this for some time. It's a terrific book, full of twists and turns; the novel is set on the Carribean island of Camaho, a place so keenly evoked by Ross that you can practically taste the seawater in your throat. There are plenty of mysteries in this one. Ross' characters and his wicked turn of phrase will keep you invested in this from start to finish. Standout for me was Miss Stanislaus with her complex backstory and no-bullshit attitude. Could not recommend this novel more, especially if you're looking for a unique and atmospheric twist on the usual.
