Seven Devils by Steve
McManus – 4 Stars
ISBN: 9780996448543
Publisher: Steve McManus
This is an entertaining thriller/mystery with several
intertwining stories: the murder of two young Chinese women in Los Angeles California
All the different elements of the plot are brought together
smoothly. The character and setting descriptions are beautifully done. The plot
held my interest throughout the relatively long book and I loved the reunion at
the end.
I did feel at a disadvantage for not having read the first
book in the series. I wish there had been more background for the main
characters, Danny and Ursula, and their obviously adversarial relationship.
I got lost in the Sci Fi
dialogue of the anti-guru Zach group 808. I recognized some names from
the original Star Wars movies, but since I have not kept up with current jargon
the renaming of people, places and events was annoyingly confusing.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and will read more by this
author.
