LaRocca’s new novel shares the same gripping gritty detail of his first Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke but is fundamentally better (more thought out and exciting). The format of the novel as if written as an investigative piece surrounding the disappearance of a murder and his accomplice is an interesting concept. The novella inside the book is extremely well written and at time had me wishing it was instead the main focus. Overall the book is pretty good. You can definitely see LaRocca’s progress as an author.
