NIGHT WORK

Author: Steve Hamilton
Genre: Fiction, Standalone
Published: 2007
Personal Rating: 3.75/5 (good +)
Format: Audiobook
Yearly Count: 18


Joe Trumbell is a juvenile probation officer in Kingston, New York.  His fiancĂ© was brutally murdered two years prior, and he's finally stepping out of his shell to begin dating again.  The date doesn't go exactly how he planned.    

Even though I haven't rated any of Steve Hamilton's books above a 4.25/5 (very good +), I consider myself a major fan.  His books are comfort reads for me.  Every time I pick one up, I know I'll enjoy it to some extent.  This one was no different in that respect.  However, it was different in the fact that I missed the wit Hamilton has brought in the past.  That made the book have a totally different feel from his Alex McKnight series, but I still liked the main character, and it was an interesting read/listen.

  1. There's always one book in every series that isn't up to the standards of the rest.

  2. I haven't tried this author before. I know what you mean though about maybe not rating an author's books high but still counting yourself as a fan. There are a few authors' books I can say that about too--and for the same reason: comfort. :-)
