The Spare Man
I had been saving this one and rubbing my hands in gleeful anticipation after reading lots of good things about it in social media.
That's what I read (mostly)
I had been saving this one and rubbing my hands in gleeful anticipation after reading lots of good things about it in social media.
Nicely plotted, suspenseful tale covering human trafficking and a secret society devoted to a united Africa, by almost any means.
For a mystery series to hold my attention it needs to have nice, twisted plots of course. Mysteries are the ultimate in plot-driven. But that’s not enough to carry a series for me. It needs to have at least a great cast of characters, interesting relationships between them, or an interesting setting. Ideally all of the above, and this series had that, for me.
This is the second book I’ve read by Philip K Dick (the other was The Man in the High Castle, which I read a couple of years ago?) and I found both meh.
It wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad. I’d call it average. Decent plot, decent characters.
