Started out better than it ended. John Corey is a sexist womanizer that I hate to love. So many great one-liners in this novel, and also an suspenseful intensity that I haven't had the joy of experiencing lately. The early 80% of the novel was fantastic, but the ending... well, it just really annoys me when the bad guy is so BAD.
John Cory is probably the worst detective of all time, he's so busy throwing one liners and comment on fellow detectives nice arses that he totally forgets how to actually do any police work. i seldom feel killing of my protagonist would be a great idea, but in this case i kept my hopes high. he is a complete arsehole
So sexist it hurts my eyes, and thats a shame because the story is kind of interesting and suspenseful
My one star rating may seem low and perhaps it is, but i was so provoced by the writing so any higher would be impossible.
2/10
