"Eleven Days" is the first is a series featuring Carl Houseman, a police detective in a small town in north eastern Iowa. Overall, the book a good police procedural but like many first time novelists, Harstad could not resist the temptation to throw everything AND the kitchen sink into this one. If one dead body is good, a dozen must be brilliant. If Satan worship is good, Satan worship with human sacrifice and group sex is even better. This book is a very fast read and for the most part, the writing is solid. There is a lot of violence and gore so if that bothers you, don't attempt this book. Otherwise, fasten your seatbelt for a fast and furious ride and be prepared to add Harstad's second book to your list as soon as you finish the first. That's exactly what I did.
