The Devil's Workshop by Alex Grecian
1.0
OK, this series has gone off the rails. Super disappointing, because in book 1 I liked the characters a lot (especially Claire). But now the characters are flat and one-dimensional.
If your whole plot depends on your ~brilliant inspector~ main character being to effing stupid to notice that, for example, people he's supposed to be working with go missing (or notices and doesn't think it's a problem), then you have a problem. And Hammersmith, oh jeeze. I've been known to put my pants on inside out just like anyone else, but can you hammer (heh) home enough times that oh, he's just so dedicated to his work, he can't button his own darn shirt up right?
Also, way too much gratuitous violence for me in this one. Literally made me sick to my stomach.
