A vampire detective?! Sign me up!
Except, he's more like a lone wolf that does side jobs for different vampire groups that are divided among Manhattan and feels more like he does side jobs for different gangs and mafias so he can stay lone and free and alive (...well, undead).
Definitely has the feel of a detective noir, and the bit of the audiobook I listened to made it sound even more so. But it's violent. It's full of gangs and getting people to talk and blood and gorey descriptions. All fine by me. Not my fave but it's fine. Now sexual abuse and rape and especially of minors...I was very uncomfortable with that and thus my low rating. The mystery of who was making the zombies and what was escaping Joe's detection kept me reading until the end, so it's got that going for it, but I think I'll stop here with book one. Sorry Joe Pitt, you're not my type of vampire detective.
