Book Review of The Various Haunts of Men

The Various Haunts of Men
reviewed on


I just discovered this British mystery series featuring detective Simon Serrailler. This is the first in the series and it is a satisfying, big fat door-stopper of a mystery. The novel is told from multiple points of view - quite a lot of them in fact, which means you don't get to know all of the characters as well as you might like to. I saw part of the ending coming a few chapters out, but there was still one shocking plot development that I totally did not expect. Overall I really enjoyed it and will try to track down the rest of the series. If you like Elizabeth George's novels, you might enjoy this series.
