Book Review of The Sixth Extinction

The Sixth Extinction
tcorbs avatar reviewed on


I just finished reading the book The Sixth Extinction by d. leonard freeston. I had trouble putting it down. This is a thriller about a Montreal cop who is trying to solve an international case involving endangered animals being abducted and collected by an ultra rich megalomaniac. The writing is clever and funny. I enjoyed the parts about the animals, especially the powerful lion named I-árishóni who has escaped and is tearing his way through a lake region in Ontario. Also fun to read is the banter between the two detectives who are trying to solve the case of the missing animals and bring the mastermind to justice for the collateral damage often involving injury or death of caretakers.
