I liked it considerably more Harlem Shuffle. There is something about NYC crime in the 70s that I enjoy. This feels like Across 110th Street to me - grimey & entertaining. 
medium-paced

I guess I expected more.

When I read The Fourth Monkey I kept wondering if it was just Se7en and The Silence of the Lambs mixed together or if it was more original than that. It was entertaining but I now believe it was the former. 

This sequel shows that the writer lacks originality. The plot is so covuluted and the characters are so unbelievable it affects how I feel about this first book. The twists are horrible but what they lack in quality is made up by the quantity.

The first person narration of every little detail is annoying.
