The Dragon Man by Garry Disher
3.0
Up from 2.5 because there's something genuinely absorbing about this procedural. But gawdlemitey if the next book has eleventeen characters bumblestumbling around I will boot this series.
Challis needs something. He needs a humanizing hobby, like Montalbano. Plane restoring is dull and unappealing. Destry's a bit less blah, but not overmuch. Tankard's a nasty fucker and I hope he dies in a fire or something equally painful and unpleasant. The other bajillion characters didn't make an impression on me so I don't remember their names or qualities.
Anyway, better than ~meh~ but not by much. Book two, [b:Kittyhawk Down|815141|Kittyhawk Down (Inspector Challis, #2)|Garry Disher|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1333580302s/815141.jpg|801064], better be significantly more involving and intriguing or the series goes flooey with me.
