Detective Elliot

review 1: Detective Kenny Eliot is a member of the Tulsa Police Dept. He becomes unsettled when a supposed transient dies of what is thought to be a drug overdose but Eliot thinks differently. As he searches for the truth he uncovers information about a cult that may be involved but why? He digs deeper while trying to maintain a normal life, helping a neighbor with her disabled son, falling in love with a woman he barely knows and things begin to fall apart from there. There are twists and turns that lead Eliot in all kinds of directions. The biggest twist comes at the very end when he finally realizes who he is dealing with and how he must deal with a very sick mind.Eliot is a very believable, likeable character who has flaws that show. I will definitely put Bob Avey on my "m... moreust read more" list.
review 2: I like this book. It's a fun, if grim, police detective mystery set in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's all over the place, and you can really see the author trying to find his feet with both this character and with the notions of telling a mystery story. Characters come and go, there's a supernatural element that really doesn't get explained or even discussed, there are references to past events that make little or no sense, and other mistakes that are too numerous to count, really. However, I can't help but applaud Avey's skill and ambition. He writes well, and he takes on for himself a very complex story that unfolds in a decent fashion. Like other reviewers, I saw the ending coming from a mile away. However, it's Avey's skill as a storyteller that kept me reading even though I already knew whodunnit. less
