A review by iam_griff
The Bedlam Detective by Stephen Gallagher

3.0

Maybe I should've read the description of this book better. There really wasn't much of the two mystery here, there wasn't much in the way of suspects, & both crimes were interesting, just not a lot of suspense to either. The end of the book felt really rushed & Mr Gallagher just grabbed a random character & made him one of the killers just to tie up the subplot & no explanation of the killer's motive for performing the crime. The main plot was a bit predictable & again not much suspense, but at least we get a motive this this killer. I know that this was a book 2 in a series so I don't know if Sebastian Becker's background was explained in real depth in it, but I found his frustration with his 18 year old son with whom is either had autism/Asperger's syndrome to touch very close to home as being a father in a similar situation.
