Yes, I do like fantasy/supernatural based mysteries. Don't judge. I've followed Garett from the beginning, and like any character, he ebbs and flows. I appreciate the fact that Mr. Cook is trying to mature the character realistically. I don't know if I necessary enjoy the maturing process, but its still good, still well-written, and still strives to reflect the reckless abandon of every day existence. I like the characters and the humorous tone of the series, even when interlaced with the seriousness of the mysteries. Yet this feels like the weakest book in the series to date. I'm not sure if that's the lead character maturing, or the writer stretching the stories out. With luck, the next book will help establish if this is a book that reestablished a direction or merely a story that needs to end.
What do You think about Wicked Bronze Ambition (2013)?
Glen Cook knows how to pull at the heart strings with this book. It had me sobbing by the end.

I think Garrett and Strafa will be ok, but I'm worried about the Dead Man.
