stormlightreader 's review for:
American Devil was a pleasant surprise. I like Stark's writing style and that made this 551 page thriller a really quick read.
I loved the psychological discussions led by Levene. The killer was really interesting to follow and his intelligence was more interesting to read about than his kills (which is not something I would normally say). The story had some fun twists throughout and the pacing was really good.
There's a good dynamic between Harper and Levene. Their relationship starts off rocky but they quickly end up having great back and forths and they felt like a natural pairing.
American Devil has lots of plot threads to follow but not an overwhelming amount where it becomes difficult to follow. I also thought that the story had some quite realistic elements:
- Harper not rejoining the force straight away
- Harper not accepting Levene as his therapist straight away
- Harper being dismissed as lead detective part way through
