The Good Cop

From the opening pages of [b:Faces of the Gone 6495189 Faces of the Gone (Carter Ross Mystery #1) Brad Parks https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1317065893s/6495189.jpg 6686638], I could tell that Parks could tell a good story, and a compelling mystery while making you laugh. He's only gotten better each novel since – which hardly seems fair.Not that I'm complaining.There were times when I thought the mystery this time was a tad predictable, but there were enough twists to keep my interest – and the way Parks writes, plus the subplots and characters made it more than enough. Parks makes me laugh out loud frequently – without turning these books into a sit-com like [a:Janet Evanovich 2384 Janet Evanovich https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1308327981p2/2384.jpg] would. It's real humor in the midst of suspense – like early Robert B. Parker or Robert Crais (remember when Elvis Cole was funny?)My biggest gripe is that Parks only puts out one of these a year.
