A review by akagingerk
Dead To Me by Anton Strout

3.0

Not bad, not amazing. The jokes are funny, the situations moreso. The some of the characters fall a bit flat, and the protagonist is slightly self-contradictory. (He's only been on the job a few months--and yet he's seen it all before. That combination of world-weary and naive is a hardsell.) And, again, I noticed some gender issues, particularly in the first chapter. Apparently, that's my new thing.

But again, it's funny. Really, really funny. And not afraid of making the stupid joke, which I admire.

If you're all caught up on Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Simon Green's Nightside, this might tide you over.
