DNF, stopping at 17% after peeking at the last chapters. It just isn't holding my interest. The style is too dry, and I'm not feeling some of this over-the-top world, either. You'd think the latter would energize the former, but it doesn't. ( )

Tim investigates insurance claims in a world where humans and monsters of the supernatural variety live together. This supernatural fantasy detective story is fun and clever on multiple levels, and the first case Tim is given to investigate is a doozy.

If you like movies like Ghostbusters or Men in Black, or the absurd fantasy style of Pratchett, then this book might be for you. I enjoyed it, for the most part. But I had questions by the end. Without giving too much away. Tim and his friends infiltrate a gang in an attempt to save one of their own, but the author leaves how they were able to do it a complete mystery. And that, for me, was a disappointment. ( )
