IQ by Joe Ide
Sep. 23rd, 2017 04:59 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, OAPs are getting hoodwinked, children are missing. But word has spread: if you’ve got a case the police can’t or won’t touch, Isaiah Quintabe will help you out.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Joe Ide’s debut crime novel (the first in a series) is a slickly written story with whip snapping dialogue, interesting main characters who are more frenemies than allies and a tremendous sense of location and although it was too easy to guess the culprit and their motive there’s a lot of potential here – especially because of Isaiah’s back story – and as such I will definitely check out the sequel.
IQ was released in the United Kingdom on 10th August 2017. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
