De mort naturelle by James Oswald
2.0
Hate being conned into supernatural books. Putting that aside, this book seemed to not have an editor. No joke there’s a bad cut and paste where the demon POV starts immediately following the main character, making it seem like he is thinking and doing those things. (Every other time the POV changes, it’s a new chapter.). Then the exact same sentence is used to describe a character accent. Word for word. As if it wasn’t said a paragraph before. I would also expect an editor would have told the author to cut some of it out. It’s ok to guess what’s going on and then have the detective figure it out, but when you actually know what’s going on and then the “brilliant” detective takes ages to make even the most obvious conclusions it becomes irritating. The detective even says in multiple instances something along the lines of “I’m being dumb, can’t believe I didn’t think of the most obvious thing”. I really can’t imagine where this series could go but I won’t be finding out.
