From the beginning, the protagonist is likeable, powerful, and enticing, and even the characters who are less integral to the plot seem developed and incredibly well thought out. The story plummets along at an immense speed, leaving the reader immersed and entrenched in this world of danger and betrayal.
At times, the dialogue and narration is unexpectedly funny, but even when it isn't, it feels fluid and effortless on the part of the author. Through heavily opinionated narration (not first person though), another level of depth is added to the story and the characters.
Patrick Hoffman's writing is stylised and unique; very comfortable to read, but still exciting, and drives an intense story.
If you are a fan of crime fiction, or even if you just like an exciting book, this is definitely a good bet for you; you'll find it addictive, immersive and at times pretty hilarious - exactly what you'd want from a novel of this kind.
