The Curious Eat Themselves
The Curious Eat Themselves | John Straley
3 posts | 4 read
Sitka, Alaska- When Louise Root, a new client of Cecil Younger, is found murdered, the private investigator finds himself in the middle of a web of secrets and deadly repercussions-usually not found in the world of environmental politics. Not only that, it seems everyone suddenly wants Younger's help- his old friend, Doggy, the DA; his autistic roommate, Todd, whose Labrador retriever has disappeared; an image-conscious environmental activist; and even the sleazy executives of Global Mining, whose interest in the case is a little more than suspicious. In the midst of all this, Younger is wrecked by guilt and his personal life is fraying as he tries to keep his drinking under control. He's got his hands full trying to juggle his lingering emotions over his ex-lover, the multiple investigations, and simply trying to stay alive.

Nice quick read. Great cast of characters, nice plot, and scenic Alaskan landscape.

I liked the mystery in this book better than the one in the first book from the series. However, this one suffers the same rushed ending, as though he was just ready to be done.

This was a nice read. It‘s not really my style (I like whodunnits), but it was a very well-written police procedural. I think fans of that subgenre will really enjoy this. It just wasn‘t my cup of tea.
