One missing girl and the whole city goes crazy. It's been three days, and now everyone in Brighton is looking for her. There is an army of police searching, her picture is on every front page, and the public can't get enough of it. Gangs of good citizens are going door to door, turning their neighbours' houses upside down, but still no one can find her. For Brighton's No.1 Private Detective, Joe Grabarz, it brings back too many memories of his first case, another missing girl, when he learnt too many lessons the hard way. No one was going door to door then. No one cared. But her mum and dad weren't nearly as photogenic, nor quite so saintly. It's a lesson Joe learnt long ago that has come back to haunt him: choose your parents wisely. Warning: this book contains adult language, sex references, and violence (basically, all the good stuff).… (plus d'informations)

I don't remember how I came across this book. It could have been an Amazon Prime Reading offer or it could have been on one of the e-mail lists that show free and discounted e-books. I was a bit surprised when I read the blurb just before starting the book--to be fair, at the end of the blurb, they do warn you that there's language, sex, etc. Overall, I just thought there was too much bad language in the narrative too early on. I didn't yet care about the characters and I didn't see what the character's need was to have that language--I wasn't sure how it fit the character.

I don't see myself seeking out other books in this series or looking for more books by this author.

The author does have a distinctive style of writing and if that appeals to you, you'd probably enjoy this book more than I did. ( )
