Every Dead Thing by John Connolly
2.0

Decent book with some of the best characters I've come across in recent times. While it’s light on the supernatural elements (which was the main reason I started the series), I still enjoyed the story. However, at one point I had to stop reading to double-check if I had accidentally picked up a "two-in-one" edition, as it felt like the story completely shifts halfway through and a new one begins. Despite this, I can only give the book two stars overall because it falls into two of my most hated pitfalls for a detective story: first, when the mystery is solved by a ridiculously improbable stroke of luck, and second, when the method of murder is never explained. Unfortunately, this book is guilty of both.
