Sevgili Çağatay Yaşmut'un önerisi ile tanıştım Jeremiah Healy ile. Çok da eğlendim okurken. Katilin kim olduğuna odaklanan polisiyelerden biriydi. İki cinayetin birbiri ile bağlantılı olduğunu düşünen dedektif Cuddy katilin peşine düşer ve olaylar gelişir. Çerezlik polisiyelerden olduğunu düşünüyorum Muhbir'in. Eğleniyorsunuz, kafayı dağıtıyorsunuz ama daha fazlası değil. Türünün iyi örneklerindendi Muhbir, yazarın başka kitaplarını da okurum çünkü kurgu konusunda çok başarılı, okuru da olay örgüsüne katıyor. Yine de iyi zaman geçirmekten fazlasını vermiyor kitap o nedenle hastane günlerinde yanıma alacağım bir yazar olacaktır Healy.

4.5 stars
4.5 stars - this is one I kept walking away from, read a few pages, walk away from again. It didn’t grab me like the others did. But as usual, a complex puzzle stemming from … well, if I tell you, you’ll figure it out before Cuddy now, wouldn’t you?

a decent read, quick, simple

Healy shows his mastery of the genre in this tight tale of murder and police corruption in a small town.
Cuddy is low-key, more Everyman than Macho man, making him one of the best main characters ever written.
There are only 13 novels in this series. I wish there were twice that many more. But sadly, Jeremiah Healy died last year and there will be no more.

This is the first book I've read by Healy and while I enjoyed it, it was only average. The mystery was good, but the action was light and the resolution came to quickly and was to easily seen. I will try another one to see how it goes.
