Masked Prey, &c.
Granted, I read most of the author’s canon in the last 6 months, having missed one or two, maybe, but I think I got most of them. Either way, that gives me a definite feeling for the novels and the way the guy writes.
Enjoyable, a little more style than I tend to like in my potboiler-romance-detective-thriller (something something) genre of work. But good stuff, and I highly recommend all of the novels, starting at the beginning.
May the odd gods bless libraries.
Mercury? Maybe Thoth? Some saint? Virgo?
“St. Jerome?”
I started Masked Prey the night my internet died, and then, reading on the tablet, and slipping between the opening chapters, and the online news, it felt very surreal, which narrative belonged where. Quickly lost in the tale’s sense of timing and currency. Current events or the book? Both.
“The media doesn’t seem to have reporters anymore, they just have commentators.” Page 111.
I would blame Comedy Central and the commentators who started this.
“For instance, the writer always puts two spaces after a period, which means he probably learned to type on a typewriter, rather than a keyboard.” Page 315.
OK, weird and unrelated fact? I can only work on a keyboard, not a manual typewriter. Oddly enough, for years, even buried in the archive, and finishing that last book manuscript, I was still erasing places where I double-spaced after a period at the end of a sentence.
The digital version was, in my mind, classic and good to the “last page.”
