BOTTOM-LINE:
Great writing and fast-paced story
.
PLOT OR PREMISE:
Supposed suicide of a land developer is complicated by some details that suggest murder, and spells trouble for Sinclair since he was recently seen having a large argument with the deceased. Unfortunately for Matt, he can't remember the details because they have been wiped out by an epileptic seizure and the developer is found in a building owned by Matt's mother. Matt investigates, partly to find out for himself, what really happened.
.
WHAT I LIKED:
Better written than the first one, including a much better quality of appropriate humour and the extra characters from the mob are well done, adding some interesting albeit tiny twists.
.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
Slightly more graphic than the first, the plot is somewhat convoluted, and there is too much attention paid to Matt's personal life which is too far removed from the mystery. The ending is rather disappointing from such a good writer.
