pickAfter enjoying his debut novel, Sirens, I was really looking forward to reading this. Overall I did enjoy it but found that some parts seemed to drag a bit and it felt like a bit of a chore trying to keep up with the different characters. I flew through the last few parts and found that more gripping. I would read another of his books and haven‘t been put off. #josephknox #manchester #thesmilingman #sequel #detectiveaidanwaits
