A review by antiopelle
IQ by Joe Ide

I was reeled in by the tagline ‘ Sherlock Holmes of the 21st Century’ but it soon dawned on me that I was in a whole other world far far away from my comfort zone. After years of reading about Scottish or Irish detectives, the underbelly of LA is indeed a whole other world.
The first part were we were told about Isaiah’s past was ok, but when he starts to work on the case the slang and stereotypes were so bad I couldn’t continue. Not a shred of Sherlock in sight.
Life is too short to spend time on a book you don’t like and can’t connect with, therefore it’s a DNF for me after 1/3rd.
