Thoughts on Let the Devil Sleep

The third entry in John Verdon's series featuring retired NYPD homicide detective Dave Gurney publishes in July. I finished it yesterday. Full review when it comes out but one of the subjects that Verdon uses to great effect is the 24 news media. He does a great job of skewering them, showing how they ramp up the fear factor and turn even the most honest project into trash. Gurney is still developing especially after the damage he suffered in the second book.. I love thrillers that don't go where I think they're going, with some ingenious plot twists and leaps of logic that Holmes himself would be proud of Verdon hasn't lost his touch. Can't wait for the next one.
