Book Review of Down in the Zero (Burke, Bk 7)

Down in the Zero (Burke, Bk 7)
reviewed on + 12 more book reviews


Seventh volume of Vachss's "Burke" books, it continues the themes that dominate the series, primarily abuse and exploitation. Although not the strongest of the novels, it widens Burke's circle of acquaintances and certainly delivers what a fan of the series wants.

Personally, I found the depictions of the BDSM world to be closed minded and uncomplimentary - what I would expect from a writer outside that "scene". Overall, however, the book was an enjoyable read and is recommended for fans of the previous Burke novels who are working their way through the series.
