L.A. Requiem (Elvis Cole #8) by Robert Crais



Great Elvis Cole novel

Robert Crais
L.A. Requiem is a wonderful hard-boiled detective novel - a real pleasure, especially since I've run across a string of sub-par books lately.

No worries with that here.

The reader does not have to have read the previous Elvis Cole novels to read and enjoy this one - in fact, you will discover more about Cole's mysterious partner, Joe Pike, in this one book than you will have read about in all of the previous books combined.

L.A. Requiem is book #8 in the Elvis Cole series and well worth the read. Rather than ruin it with lots of spoilers, let me describe it like this: lots of action, good old-fashioned detective work, flashbacks, tragedy, revenge, honor, loss and re-dedication. Very well done.

Crais is definitely on my short list of authors to watch out for!

I rate this book 5 stars out of 5 and it can be found on Amazon.com here: L.A. Requiem (Elvis Cole #8) by Robert Crais.
