<p>I take this back. I like Ken Bruen, but this novel slipped on character. Jack is no longer sympathetic. I have a suspicion that an author can become too closely identified with a certain subgenre so that the quality slips in the effort to outdo the competition.</p>

<p>I don't remember books. There have been some good ones and lot of poor ones. I also don't pay attention to release dates. Reading Ken Bruen's HEADSTONE now. It must be recent. So far it's good, as all of his Jack Taylor novels are good. I like the character and the voice. I like the attitude. Most people think of it as noir, but I've always felt the Jack Taylor novels reached beyond that narrow sub genre. There is something very real about the poor slob with good intentions who keeps…</p>
<p>I don't remember books. There have been some good ones and lot of poor ones. I also don't pay attention to release dates. Reading Ken Bruen's HEADSTONE now. It must be recent. So far it's good, as all of his Jack Taylor novels are good. I like the character and the voice. I like the attitude. Most people think of it as noir, but I've always felt the Jack Taylor novels reached beyond that narrow sub genre. There is something very real about the poor slob with good intentions who keeps falling on his face and is promptly beaten into a pulp by the forces of evil. They prey on the weak in the real world also. So, very believable without being generic.</p>
