Somebody Killed His Editor by Josh Lanyon
1.0
This has got to be the first of Mr Lanyon’s books/stories I would sum up with the useful little word ‘meh‘.
I’ve read quite a lot of his stories and enjoyed all of them, hell, fangirled heavily over some of them (Adrien/Jake, anybody?). Some of his characters I liked more, some I liked less, but I’ve enjoyed all of the stories I’ve read. This one? I couldn’t get into it and it wouldn’t come together in my head. Oh, I liked Kit and his muttering ways well enough, and what’s not to like about a handsome copper? Still, I found it all a bit off with too many tangled threads that just wouldn’t form a pattern over the course of the book and so I finished it with a loud and clear ‘huh?’. Frankly, it hasn’t left me wanting more.
Can’t love ‘em all, I say. Mr Lanyon has written so much and there’s so much yet to read. The ‘Fair Play’ sequel is up – ‘Fair Game’ – and I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy that one.
