A review by zzzrevel
Five Minutes Alone by Paul Cleave

4.0

I've like this whole series taking place
with serial crime in Christchurch,
New Zealand and this seventh one is
no exception. The only partially
nitpick would be to new readers who
may not start with the first book
and read them in order because there
is a lot of material from prior books
that is used for the subsequent ones.
That being said, the author does a
good job of keeping the reader
up-to-date so you can still follow the
storylines, just that there is sort of
'spoilers' for the reader who may go back
and read earlier ones.
This one has good plotting and reads in
sort of a doleful way but the narration
and dialogue kept things interesting.
The ending was not totally satisfying
but again that is a bit of a nit because
it was an enjoyable read overall.
