I loved this book! It was a very off-beat story with odd characters, I thought it was great.

such a cool story!
can't wait to read the others in the trilogy. I was torn between reading it fast to see what would happen next, and savoring the details. In the end I ripped through it too fast and will have to read it again.

In reading this book, you truly have no idea where it is going at any point. Daniel Quin, an author of detective novels, accepts a real assignment as private investigator from a man who dials his phone number by mistake. The investigation spirals out of control and leads Quinn to some serious soul searching after he manages to lose track of his original assigment. One of the most unique stories I've read.

Technically classified as detective fiction, it is a little different that Sherlock Holmes, but an interesting read, nonetheless.

Nominated for the Edgard, but not a pure mystery--first of three part trilogy.
