Indigo Slam is the latest book to featured in an Ottakers 99p promotion. And if anyone says these things don’t work, then I’m the reason that they do. I’ve only read all the Peter Robinson novels because they had one for 99p.
Robert Crais is an author that I must admit I hadn’t previously heard of. His detective is Elvis Cole – who sounds like a musical detective to my ears. Maybe he is, but there’s no indication of it in this novel. It’s all first person, and all Cole. If Cole’s not there, we don’t hear about it. There’s no switching between storylines or other characters, and you can’t fail to understand the plot, because we hear his thoughts after spoken words.
So it’s simple, but it’s quite pleasurable, and I learnt more than I thought I’d need to know about printing phony money. I may easily read more in this series.
