The Straight Razor Cure by Daniel Polansky
5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a mix of fantasy and murder mystery. It centres around Low Town and Warden who is a drug dealer with a past. When he discovers the dead body of a missing child,that past comes back with a vengeance. Its a darker fantasy story than I usually read,but I really liked it.
The book is written through Warden's P.O.V and I think his voice is what kept this book from being too dark or depressing for me. He has a sarcasm and wit that he uses with relish to help him get out of or into situations depending on his need. He has a dark and sardonic sense of humour I that kept me entertained throughout. I found his investigation interesting,though I knew who the perpetrator was early on. I believe this was intentional to add to the tension for the reader. All in all a very entertaining read,and I will be reading the others in the series.
