Cleveland and Serial Killers, like cookies and milk...
Author Michael Jordan could well be my neighbor, because he sure knows modern Cleveland... from the race tensions, the Eastside vs. Westside rivalry, institutions like the West Side Market, and all of this kept me enthralled. The idea of serial killers in Cleveland: Well, we do get our share of those! In this book, the real life Torso Murderer is included, and a fictional one, the Butcher.
The author crafts a well-written story with good pacing. There's one unusual author choice halfway through the book. Trust me, you will know it when you see it!
Our narrator/main character John Coleman is inherently flawed, and seems to make every bad decision available to him while rationalizing it away. This adds tension for the reader, and creates a lot of problems to solve besides the mystery at hand. I sighed a lot at Coleman.
I saw a lot of the plot elements coming; that took some of the suspense away. Nevertheless, I find this a good read overall, and I will be looking for more books from Michael Jordan.
