Helpful Score: 1
Declan Burke's THE BIG O is a fast, funny as hell crime novel with a surprising amount of heart. Relying on a degree of coincidence that on the surface might seem extreme, the coincidences themselves become a character of sorts, as the reader begins guessing (incorrectly, in my case) where the next cross-pollination will take place.
Alternating as needed between the POVs of the main players (each fully formed and well defined, not to mention entertaining as hell!), Burke keeps the plot and pace running smoothly and strongly. The humor is ever-present, and dark.
Recommended!
