Man hatar høvuðs persónin, sindur strævin at lesa ti hann er so illur og negativur, men er annars spennandi

I will review the four novels in this omnibus volume separately, then mark this as "read" when finished.

8/18/22: Have read the earliest "Charles Paris" novel in this omnibus volume. See review of Cast, In Order of Disappearance.

8/23/22: Now have read all four novels in this volume and reviewed them separately. The other three: So Much Blood, Star Trap, An Amateur Corpse.

Average rating about 3+ stars.
