claudia_is_reading's review against another edition
5.0
Oh, this was fantastic! The whole case was really good, and the choice of the creature works really well.
I'm really fond of the characters at this point. Bernie Quist is smart and experienced, but still kind when it matters; Watson is your typical young lad, always falling in love and making fun of his mentor's age but standing by his side (or at his back :P) even when he is terrified.
It's easy to understand the motivation for the killing and even sympathize a bit with the killer. We are talking about people with very ugly hearts and no moral sense whatsoever; there is no doubt that the world is a better place without them in it. But... they are still murders... and Quist takes care of the culprit in the end.
As always, Christopher Power's narration is great :D
