I really enjoyed this mystery! Very well-written with a clever narrative style, it made me flinch in fear and at other times, laugh embarrassingly loud. Other than a few distracting Briticisms, the writing was flawless. It reminded me a bit of John Connolly's Charlie Parker series. And I was ecstatic to learn that _The Straw Men_ is the first book of a trilogy. This is, unfortunately, not well-advertised, but I immediately ordered the remained books (_The Lonely Dead_(aka _The Upright Man_) and _Blood of Angels_), and I am really looking forward to reading them!
