In the Morning I'll Be Gone: A Detective Sean Duffy Novel by Adrian McKinty
5.0
If I read this book by itself, I still would've liked it, but more of a 4 star than 5 star book. What puts it in the 5 star category (in my opinion) is the ending. Could not have asked for a better one even if he had asked how I wanted it to end.
I've really enjoyed this series, one of my favorites, and I am sad to see it over. At the same time, I'd rather it end now on a high note, than the way some series I've read have gone.
General things I've liked in the series: Our man is flawed. Seriously flawed, near broken sometimes. He's a good cop - smart and willing to bend the rules for justice to be served. But he's got issues.
This book went off te path a bit with his locked room mystery. There were times I felt like that was being brought up too much, not the mystery, but the fact that I kept being told that was what it was. Then again, if this crime had taken place in real life, any fairly well read person probably would be bringing it up, talking about it, etc.
I'm okay with the story (Sean's) ending where it does. It would only be a matter of time before his luck runs out and I would rather remember him this way - with some sense of control over his life.
