A review by mrs_merdle
The Last Detective by Peter Lovesey

4.0

Well, now I know what to read if I'm in the mood for some Ian Rankin and can't get my hands on one.
A few things:
I found the point of view switches kind of interesting, and realized that I was sorry when they were over.
I'm interested in the author's thought process behind giving his protagonist his own first name.
The detective's wife played an unbelievably small roll. We knew her first name, but she rarely was mentioned, not even showing up when our hero is in the hospital having just woken from a coma of a few days duration.
This is the first in the series, and I will read more.
