Phrynne's Reviews > Redemption

I love Amos Decker so the moment I saw this book on the bookshop shelves I bought it, came home, and settled down in my favourite chair for a really good read. And it was good, very good in fact.

Amos is struggling badly. Had she lived he would have been celebrating his daughter's birthday and he is blind sided with grief for his dead wife and child. He is also experiencing very strange symptoms from his brain condition, and he feels the need to be away from his friends and suffer on his own. Luckily those friends do not take no for an answer and he soon finds himself being supported in his personal life while working hard to solve a particularly complicated case.

There are an awful lot of dead bodies in this book, many visits to the morgue and a huge amount of very detailed and very smart police work. Some of the goodies turn out to be baddies and hardly anyone is who they seem to be. I suppose someone very smart could guess who killed who and why but I had to be patient and wait until Decker explained it all.

I enjoyed it enormously and hope that the author is planning a book 6.
