The Puppet Show (Washington Poe # 1) Author M.W. Craven
He is reluctantly partnered with brilliant but socially awkward civilian analyst Tilly Bradshaw, and the mismatched pair uncover a trail that only he is meant to see. The elusive killer has a plan, and for some reason Poe is part of it.
As the body count rises, Poe discovers he has far more invested in the case than he could have possibly imagined. And in a shocking finale that will shatter everything he's ever believed about himself, Poe will learn that there are things far worse than being burned alive....
Horrific crimes in unusual settings, a massive twist within the story, two interesting lead characters and a somewhat gruesome, unhinged and unexpected perp.
What more could you want? Well, there IS more!
Poe has a past, he is under suspension but is called back to work because there is a very intriguing fact connecting him to an outrageous crime, reluctantly he agrees to investigate. With the help of the quirky and endearing Tilly he embarks on what must be one of the strangest and convoluted investigations of his career. This investigation leads him on a road he does not want to travel.
Actually it was a little darker than my usual reads, but, despite a somewhat slow start it is rather gripping and, I might add, stomach churning at times. Still, that doesn't stop me from wanting to know more about Washington Poe and the delightfully odd Tilly and I look forward seeing how their characters develop as the series progresses
I was happy with the narration, I thought John Banks did an excellent job
