Synopsis

A new book in the nationally bestselling series that has wowed critics and readers alike.

David Loogan returns! Loogan is living in Ann Arbor with Detective Elizabeth Waishkey and her daughter, Sarah. He's settled into a quiet routine as editor of the mystery magazine Gray Streets-until one day he finds a manuscript outside his door. It begins: "I killed Henry Kormoran."

Anthony Lark has a list of names-Terry Dawtrey, Sutton Bell, Henry Kormoran. To his eyes, the names glow red on the page. They move. They breathe. The people on the list have little in common except that seventeen years ago they were involved in a notorious robbery. And now Anthony Lark is hunting them down, and he won't stop until every one of them is dead.

I attended an author reading when Mr. Dolan's first book, "Bad Things Happen," was published and found the contrast between the author - to this roomful of strangers: quiet, reserved, read from the book, that was it, no questions, nothing, looked pained in front of an audience, a total cipher - and......more

Goodreads review by Mizuki

It is a decent second novel, but I don't like it as its prequel Bad Things Happen, the opening is very strong (the murderer is so very damn clever and creative), the developments of the murderer's POV and the schemes about the politician's family are good too. The ending isn't bad either, but it is......more
