review 1: Each book by this author gets better. The main characters, Detectives Ari Greene and Daniel Kennicott, are well-developed and sympathetic. I liked the pace of this book, although I figured out the guilty party about 2/3rds of the way through. The resemblance of Hap Charlton to a certain real-life mayor of Toronto is certainly well-drawn. I am definitely looking forward to the next book.That being said, I have one bone to pick, and it isn't with the writer. How can a book published by such an established company have so many ridiculous errors of syntax and spelling? Does no one proofread anymore? There is no excuse for this irritating sloppiness except corner-cutting by the publisher. It is very, very annoying for someone who cares about grammar and spelling to see this me... moressiness.
review 2: This was a great read, not only because it is set in my city (Toronto), but because of its excellent plot and pacing. Detective Ari Greene becomes a defendant in a murder trial and Rotenberg keeps the suspense high as we move through the trial. I found myself both not wanting the novel to end and dying to get to the conclusion. His characters are well-developed and their humanity is clearly defined. I look forward to his fifth book with much anticipation.Highly recommended to anyone who likes crime/police procedurals. less
