alexcarbonneau 's review for:
Darktown
by Thomas Mullen
I expected more of this novel. Maybe the hype that surrounded it for a little over than two years is to blame but in all honesty, I expected more.
I expected the racial tension between policemen to be a bigger part of the story. That's how that novel was sold to me and it fell a little flat.
This is also an uneven paced novel, where the reader feels like the story is unraveling at 100 mph in chapter two but then hits a brick wall in chapter three where it drags on and on for one too many pages.
Not a big fan of novels that feels like they have been written with the sole intention of turning them into a movie or TV show. This one sure feels like it.
Nonetheless, it is a good crime-mystery novel. But it is just that.
