A review by whipsmile
The Devil's Detective by Simon Kurt Unsworth
4.0
One things for sure, if you are a believer in Hell, this book makes you want to walk the straight and narrow so you don't end up there. It was like a Bosch painting in 300 pages.
I didn't really realize what I was getting into when I started this book. I read the synopsis and thought it sounded extremely interesting.
And I was right. It was interesting. But also gory, disturbing, graphic, appalling, and a horror. I cannot recommend it to a lot of my regular "followers".
However, it is very, very well written and the character of Thomas Fool is as readable, interesting and reluctant as you can get.
I am giving it four stars because I thought it was a very unique, clever, and well executed novel. But I am not giving it 4 stars because I liked it. It was just a little too *much* for me.
