Finally found the time to read Shaken. It was a very cool read, one of the best, if not
the best, of the new bunch of SR novels.
On the down side, after reading Crimson and the Thomas McAllister Mysteries I was a little bit disappointed that it was essentially
[spoiler]another Vampire tale[/spoiler]
but I guess that part of Kincaid's backstory had to have some resolution. Also, I might be a bit too genre-savvy when it comes to detective stories, but I have to admit
[spoiler]I had guessed who the real baddie was almost immediately.[/spoiler]
Not that it prevented me from thoroughly enjoying the ride and the writing, hard-boiled in all the right ways
I'll write a more detailed review for my website soon. [edit: aaaaand
here it is The original is in French, but Google Trad might help.
Somewhat.]
All in all, I hope Jimmy Kincaid will return sooner rather than later
