Customer Reviews

An enjoyable read with an different perspective

Aubert's lead character gives you interesting insights into the lives of the homeless. It is nice change to have a bit of an atypical lead character, as opposed to the typical good-looking but hard-nosed cop with a heart of gold that you normally find as the lead of mystery novels.You won't feel like you already know the answer to the mystery by the 5th page, which is great, and the hints leading up to the final chapter aren't so blatant that they knock you over the head.The ideal target reader for this book: a Canadian living in Toronto or someone with a love of or interest in Toronto, as Aubert does a superb job of bringing Toronto to life.Extra kudos to the author for setting this storyline in Canada!
