Gnomon by Nick Harkaway
3.0

Diane Hunter dies. Under interrogation. In the UK of the future governed through the system this should not happen. So Inspector Neith is sent to investigate. From therein you are on your own. You may be reading this book but you can really only experience it - or not, if you so choose. Many will love the crazy, helterskelter ride it will give them, many will wonder at the time it has spent them to get as far as they do whether or not to the end. I hope that if you choose to read this book you are the former and enjoy your visit to the fair/circus/Anglo-Greek playground of God, gods, man, woman and machine. If not then perhaps this is a book to leave on a public bench somewhere for another to try.

I enjoyed the crime investigation elements of the book as those of you who have read my other reviews would expect.

With thanks to Willian Heinemann via NetGalley for an e-ARC in return for an honest review.

Rating: 3*
