review 1: I love the Joe Pitt case files and the Hank Thompson trilogy, but the last couple of books by Huston have felt a little 'sterile". Skinner is still a good book with the typical bad ass (think Hitman, from the stealth games by the same name) but at times I just felt I was not enjo...

review 1: If you like a story about a anti-hero who doesn't mind getting messy and does stupid things for a girl, then this is a book you should read. Mystic Art is a fast pace crime novel that dives into the world of death scene cleanups. The main character, Web, is a good hearted likable...

review 1: I did not like this book. The narrative was too confusing to follow, often there were random chapters added in that had no significance to the plot. Lots of things were over or under explained and didn't flow right. Half of the plot lines were never heard of again and lots of thi...

review 1: Sad to see the series end, but what a ride it's been! Joe Pitt has earned his place among my favorite characters of all time. I just love, love, love Charlie Houston's dialogue and scenes. I want to gush about Huston's characterization and how with just a line of dialogue you can...

review 1: An oddly appropriate novel to start reading on a midnight flight to Tokyo. I enjoyed the shifting styles of this book as is jumped from one perspective to another, their 'voices' slowly becoming more indistinguishable as their stories became more intertwined. The main character i...

review 1: At four stars in appreciation of this series, I might have enjoyed "Half the Blood of Brooklyn" a bit more, but this one was still good (I read it in a day), it sets up nicely for the final book (curious to see what happens with Evie and the Enclave)...we finally see where the Co...

review 1: So...it's over. It's finally over. I'll miss Joe Pitt. Been one hell of a ride. I thought this was a fitting end to the series and the best book since "Already Dead." Sure, it somewhat sputtered out, but what did you expect? Each book, this one especially, was pedal-to-the-metal ...
