The Last Policeman

I'm not a big reader of mysteries, which seem to me to be pretty much the same: Somebody is killed, but whodunit? That storyline is here, of course, but with the added premise that an asteroid is hurtling toward earth and so who cares about solving a murder case? Especially a murder case that looks like it is probably a suicide, just one more suicide among an epidemic of them. So in that regard, this was a refreshing and entertaining read. (Also, I listened to the audio version and the performance was good.)
