Goodreads review by Benoit on March 28, 2023

The best Dave Wakeland novel yet.

Goodreads review by Kim on September 29, 2023

Might even be inching towards a 4.5 for this one! What a great book. Nothing black and white here, many shades of grey. Gritty Vancouver setting with some very current issues.

Quotes

“Wiebe is the absolute master of noir with heart. Wakeland had better not be planning to quit, because as far as I’m concerned, when you’re tired of Wakeland, you’re tired of life.” Iona Whishaw, bestselling author of The Lane Winslow Mystery series

“Sam Wiebe is one of the most respected names in crime fiction today and with good reason. Sunset and Jericho…is a gritty, realistic urban noir that examines the problems so prevalent in cities around the world today. With pacing that doesn’t let up, and a shocker of an ending, readers won’t be able to put this one down.” Robyn Harding, bestselling author of The Perfect Family
