tomasthanes 's review for:
The Lunatic Cafe
by Laurell K. Hamilton
It's difficult to "enjoy" this book if only because of all of the trauma that [a:Laurell K. Hamilton|9550|Laurell K. Hamilton|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1399387919p2/9550.jpg]'s heroine, Anita Blake, goes through in order to solve the crime. Functionally, Anita is a raiser of zombies and a killer of vampires, but she is really a detective who tenaciously bites down on each clue until it takes her to the culprit.
This novel takes us deeper in the vampire and lycanthrope sub-cultures to a level even past that which [a:Mike Carey|9018|Mike Carey|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1334894864p2/9018.jpg] went in his Felix Castor books. I'm not sure what to anticipate in her later novels: even deeper? Is that possible?
I like the developing relationship between Anita and Richard and all of the melodrama of determining where both of them were on the human <--> monster spectrum.
Interesting. A wereswan. Who knew?
Some familiar characters (Rafael, Edward, Dolph, and even Zerbrowski) return. Notice that I didn't include Jean-Claude in the list; he's back but not a tame member of the cast.
