A review by pallavi_sharma87
Sweet Silver Blues by Glen Cook

2.0

***2.0***

It was just not "My Type" of book.
It was originally published in 1987, the book might fall under Urban Fantasy, kind of. Garrett, is a private investigator who is rough and tough type.

The story started off very interestingly. Garrett is hired to find a beneficiary of his late buddy Denny, who has left a fortune in silver to a mystery woman. During this quest, Garrett meets a list of different magical, mystical creatures like Vampires, Gnomes, Centaur etc. Well, what follows is a set of questioning, deaths and fights. Garrett, obviously succeeds.

I felt the narration was too fast for me. It jumped from one setting to another so fast and without a connection. The story felt a bit of choppy, one dimensional and without any depth. And I didn't like the way the women were treated here, at all. I have read enough books where women are treated badly, but here it just infuriated me and that was a big minus for me.

And I am not sure I will pick the next in the series!

Happy Reading!!
