Azrael by Matthew Huntley – Review by Erica Shoebridge

AzraelAzrael by Matthew Huntley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Levi is a washed-out cop, broken by his experiences with an old serial killer, and with a few secrets he’d like left in the dark. Allowing new cop Parker to drag him back to town to consult on a potential copycat killer brings up a lot of dark memories. Being immersed in the world of the killer again makes him increasingly distrustful of everyone around him, and increasingly paranoid. As a reader, it makes it even more confusing to figure out the mysteries. Can we trust Levi’s opinions, or is he unnecessarily paranoid?
This is a well-structured book, with a detailed plot, and the mistrustful detective adds to the layers of mystery. I felt myself going in circles trying to figure it out. This is a lot psychologically darker than the books I usually read. I wish the characters had been more compelling, sometimes they fell a bit flat for me. Lots of twists and turns though, plenty of time to send you crazy guessing what’s to come.
