review 1: I would rate this 3 1/2 just because one thing is bothering me. I enjoyed the story and characters, I really like these type of detective novels, but that time travel closet..... Just find it odd in the type of story, I do enjoy sci-fi and loved the Twilight Zone, so part of me does enjoy this twist in the story, but part of me feels it does not fit in. Anyways , I will read the other books, curious to see where the next stories go.
review 2: This is what could be a really nice read if not for a sudden appearance of a time travel closet that delivers tools? Really? I mean, it distracted me immensely from the otherwise decent detective story. As if the author felt his book needed something more than the mob and a detective solving a case the ordinary way.Don
... more’t get me wrong, if you forget about the closet and the non-story related clues, this is an old-fashioned detective story. Think Philip Marlow or any fifties mob and detective movie kind of story, but instead of doing old-fashioned detective work, he gets clues, which aren’t really clues at all, from a closet.Like I said if not for that, it would be a decent read. The characters are well set, dialogue works like a charm. I could imagine them having their discussions and see the scenes. Nothing wrong there, but that silly closet that doesn’t really have a purpose as I suspected from the start. less
