review 1: This book turned out to be most everything I expected. It is a page-turning police procedural that, while it is laden with some cliches and less-than-memorable characters, still managed to keep me reading. The heroine of the book rather annoyed me in that she didn't seem to be a thorough detective and made some really, really terrible decisions over the course of the book. While certain aspects of the villain seemed cliche at turns, I did find his story to be intriguing. I also appreciated that there were a few aspects of the book that were not entirely cliche (mostly relating to the ending). All in all, it seemed a decent first effort, certainly enough to make me consider picking up the sequel at some point.
review 2: The seed of this story has real potential.... more That's what's so disappointing.They Never Die Quietly never really got off the runway. It would try to take off. It would grab me tight for a minute. But then it would inevitably set me back down with--and I hate to use this word--infodump after infodump, clogging the story's action until I finally gave up. This kind of exposition may occasionally help a story, but not done to the degree it is here. Further, Annechino would make a great sentence or point or character observation, but then lose it with several surrounding sentences that were weaker and nullified his strongest prose. The last fatal flaw for me was the amount of sophisticated words that were needlessly thrust into many sentences, forcing them to read awkward and like something out of a brochure. Sure, I understood them, but what I didn't get was if Annechino was trying to impress me with his vocabulary or make the narrative seem more polished than it really was. A sleek, edgy novel doesn't need big words to be sophisticated. It needs a robust story. Annechino may have one here, but he just lets too many other things get in the way. I would've been interested to see the finish of They Never Die Quietly. Too many unnecessary things, unfortunately, kept me from it. Can't recommend, but those who like religiously-inspired bad guys might find it worth trying. less
