Shooting at Midnight, an Atticus Kodiak novel, by Gregg Rucka, A-minus, borrowed from the Library for the Blind,

This book is really about Atticus’ on-again off-again girl friend, Bridget Logan. Atticus is a bodyguard, and Bridget is a private eye. Bridget has a secret she hasn’t let anyone she works with know about, including Atticus, and that is that she a a “recovering junkie.” She was addicted to heroin and, like any other heroin addict, could be drawn back into the habit at any More...

Shooting at Midnight is the fourth book in Greg Rucka’s Atticus Kodiak series and it differs from the previous novels in two ways: the book does not have a one-word title and Atticus is not the main focus.

I had never read this author before but will now. A former junkie, now a PI, goes undercover to help a friend from her junkie days and ends up back on heroin as well as in life threatening danger. I didn't quite get her relationship with her boyfriend but I think he is the main character in ealier books. Her description of her cravings for heroin which she calls "Mr. Jones" are scary.

Sort of an Atticus book; roughly 2/5ths of the story is told from his perspective. The rest of it is told from the perspective of the central protagonist, Atticus's love interest from previous books, private eye Brigitte Logan. By this point, Rucka is a master at faking you out, leaving you hanging, and making you both dread and anticipate every revelation.

Why anyone would help this thoroughly unlikeable detective - and she needs help constantly - is beyond me.

Great character development. This one is not so much about Atticus but still a good read.

Kodiak #4. This one threw me for a loop first time through as the narrative is from Bridget Logan's perspective. I wasn't ready for it and initially didn't like it. After Smoker I wanted more Kodiak and I wanted it bad. We learn a lot about Bridie here and after a second reading I found it to be one of the best in the series.

I feel like I maybe should've read the Atticus books first but it wasn't entirely necessary. I got the gist of who the characters were.
Good stuff. Rucka kicks ass.

Fantastic. Gritty, edgy. Very realistic. Loved that mid-series he spend 1/2 of the book without the main character!
