The Strange Task Before Me: Being an Excerpt from the Journal of William J. Upton by Sean Gibson
5.0
This is the kind of writing I love! I’m usually a bit weary of books written in journal format, but this worked amazingly and it did not take away from the plot at all.
I loved the main character. At first I found him quite full of himself and then I realized that it totally worked for his personality. Upton is witty, funny, and clever (which means Mr. Gibson must be someone fun to hang out with over some gin).
This is good fiction. A captivating main character, an interesting plot (who was the client, magic?! what happened?!), and seedy/mysterious side characters.
I will be starting the series this novella is a prequel for because, well, I have to know what happens!
