Gregor Demarkian

review 1: I listened to this book while I was driving, so part of my enjoyment of the book was the reader. He did a wonderful job with voices, and his cadence, inflections, and pace were great.I also enjoyed the mystery of the book. It had depth, and twists and turns, and false leads, and all the other trappings of a good mystery. I'm adding Gregor Demarkian to my list of favorite flawed "detectives" - with Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, Commissioner Guido Brunetti, and Detective Inspector John Rebus.
review 2: The reappearance of Chester throws his home town into turmoil. Chester disappeared as a teenager. He reappeared freshly hanged by the neck from his "Have you seen this boy?" poster.Gregor Demarkian is called in by the astonishingly incompetent local police for... morece. Chester's crazy mother, his ex-girlfriend, his former trailer park neighbors, and his own paripetetic body disguise the frantic behind-the-scenes manipulations that have been going on from the time Chester disappeared.I took a special liking to one of Chester's former neighbors, and one of his former teachers, and of course to the inside of Gregor's head as usual. I saw through part of the mystery, yelled aloud when I figured out another part of it, but was far from the mark with the rest of it. A highly satisfying read. less
