A review by kookykoi
Poison City by Paul Crilley
5.0
Because of life, I wasn't able to read this book in one go like I wanted to. Hence why it looks as if it took me three months to get through it. If life hadn't interfered, I would have finished it much quicker!
The story is compelling and its characters are engaging. The descriptions the author utilizes throughout the book are vivid and make use of several senses. There is enough humour to balance with the darkness. The events of the book can and do plunge into the terrible and horrific, making a reader like myself question: who is actually innocent?
I partially liked the events being set mostly in Durban, South Africa. The author's excellent descriptions (see above) painted the city vividly in my mind's eye and it was refreshing to read a story set somewhere else from the usual, like New York or London for example. Not that there is anything wrong with New York or London, but the change of scenery was appreciated.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who like supernatural crime capers that feature talking, alcoholic dogs.
