Half Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer

5.0

I just can't dislike books by Eoin Colfer. I really can't. Although Half Moon Investigations wasn't my favorite book ever by him, I still enjoyed it a lot. I actually enjoyed it a whole lot more than I originally thought I would because this book is more in the mystery genre.

Once again Mr. Colfer managed to create very interesting characters. The main character, Fletcher Moon, of course being the most fascinating. But I also liked Red Sharkey a lot. And I also have to say that Colfer has a knack for creating batshit crazy female characters. Just saying - that April girl? There was seriously something wrong with her. She could give Opal Koboi (from Artemis Fowl) a run for her money.

But back to the story now. It was a good story and a great mystery. I found myself wanting to solve it along with Fletcher or as Red calls him, Half Moon. And in the end I must admit that I hadn't been able to guess who was really behind it all so that's more bonus points for this book and author.

Another thing, I feel I must say is that the story read really quickly. I flew through it in no time and it always had my attention. Colfer has a unique way of writing a story and keeping its audience hooked. At least, that's always the case with me.

So if you're looking for an awesome mystery book, look no further - you have got to read Half Moon Investigations. Colfer introduces us to unique characters, unexpected twists and the brilliance of his writing once again. I loved it!
