Book Reviews of The Haunted Air : Repairman Jack (Repairman Jack) (Repairman Jack)
Book Review: A great read- a real keeper...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably my favourite of the Repairman Jack novels, and it although the action takes place in the middle of the meta-narrative that runs through most of Wilson's books it a great introduction to Jack.
The refreshing anti-hero becomes involved with two bogus spiritualists, and it soons becomes clear that something strange is awakening in the basement of their new house. As always with Wilson there are wheels within wheels throughout the book, with a particularly sinister child abductor eventually meeting a justly hideous fate in one sub plot, whilst his lover Gia is also given a larger than normal part in proceedings.
In a sense though there are no sub plots in FPW's works as almost all the loose ends are drawn together eventually, and if you want to get the most out of this book you really should have read the Keep. That said, its a really good read in its own right, and I have actually re-read it more times than any other Wilson book...there are also simple and sound explanations for some of the tricks performed by fortune tellers, and the usual array of horrid people getting exactly what they deserve thanks to Jack.
