Inspector Kari Vaara

review 1: James Thompson doesn't pull any punches in his Kari Vaara series. In this installment Kari is seriously disabled, his wife has left him and left him the baby, his "gang" is also either disabled or drunk. A lot happening and not much of it happy. This is darkest of the series but the ending offers a light at the end of a tunnel. I have downloaded a romance novel from the library because I need something sweet and mindless to read. I give it 4 Stars as I can't stop reading.
review 2: Pretty exciting and engrossing thriller with a very interesting cast of characters. Being set in Helsinki makes it doubly interesting because the locale is so unusual and one with which I have no familiarity. Interesting self-reference: the protagonist is looking at a shelf of boo... moreks and listing authors: Patterson, King, DeMille, Jim Thompson... (I'm not sure about the other names, but they were well known authors of "thrillers"). I'm probably not current with the most popular novelists of this genre of books, but Thompson can hold his own, I think. less
