A review by wishfool
Burning Man by Alan Russell

4.0

I had never heard of Alan Russell before but I bought this when it was the Kindle deal of the day, and I'm so glad that I did. I have been more in the mood for mystery/thrillers lately, and this was just mysterious enough to satisfy. Though not abundantly thrilling, it made up for it with great lead characters, sarcastic humor (sort of Dresden-esque), interesting side characters, and believable relationships. Gideon's sarcastic humor, though a little rough a couple of times, reminded me of myself and my own defense mechanisms. I was thoroughly touched by his relationship with his K-9 partner, Sirius, and was glad to see the dog's personality so well written. I will definitely be looking into more books by Mr. Russell.
