Book Reviews of Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel
Book Review: Another Tour de Force - Great Thriller Writing
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? This is another great Robert Crais book, he just gets better as time goes by. It is also not as dark of the last few Cole/Pike books have been and deals more with a new case than what has happened in their lives previously.
Here we see them investigating the death of a serial killer. The problem is that Cole had cleared him of one of the murders 3 years before. The LAPD are blaming him for the following deaths but he maintains his intial findings were correct.
As he looks for answers things just get more and more complicated and people who could help are being killed. Paperwork goes missing from police files and, after declaring that the killer is dead, the LAPD seem to be investigating something and not telling anyone, including those in the force.
We have returned to a more care-free Cole with references made to his quirky side - the Mickey Mouse phone and Pinnochio clock making welcome returns. We also see more of his sarcastic wit materialising.
Pike is Pike. The supreme figure of primtive manhood that is always there, not letting anything ruffle him but gazing impassively at events that go on around him.
I really wish that we could have more than one book a year. That 12 month wait between books is very difficult. Yet I never want him to descend to Patterson thinness and poor quality. This year I've even rationed myself to stop me reading the entire book in a day.
Buy it and see what you may have missed.
