I really enjoyed the first book in the Matt Richter series. There are three books in this series, it sounds like the series stopped in the middle (probably when Angry Robot publishing went out of business). This book reminded me a lot of Simon Green's Nightside series which I loved. The setting for this book is very similar in a lot of ways and the different sights and characters you run across are just as strange and creative as they are in the Nightside series.

I love books that throw a lot of crazy and creative things at you quickly and this was one of those. At heart it's an investigative urban fantasy but the setting and our hero (a falling apart zombie ex-cop) really make it something special.

I loved the crazy world, the bizarre characters, and the constant edge of snarky darkness throughout. I can't wait to learn more about Nekropolis and meet more of its inhabitants

Overall this was a very fun and entertaining series and I plan on continuing to read it. I would recommend to fans of gritty and darkly humorous urban fantasy. If you love Simon Green's Nightside series you will love this one!!
