The Coldest City by Antony Johnston

4.0

There are a lot of characters introduced quickly in conversation and then forever after mentioned casually by last name or spy handle only - some of whom you've heard about but never seen. For that reason, you must read very closely to follow what's otherwise a total pulp genre novel in comics form. Also it seems totally unrealistic that the character who ***SPOILER ALERT***




is supposedly the only NEW person to the entire "theater" as they say, is actually the mastermind. It's both a bit obvious and a bit - I forget which detective, but I think Sherlock Holmes, - trope in that's the culprit is like, person X you could never possibly have known. So.

Otherwise, enjoyable, strong, brief. Read it.
