A story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I feel like I shouldn't be surprised at this point. This is the third book I've read by Greg Hickey, and it won't be my last. There is something about his books that draws readers into the story. I love that he gets right into the story. I liked how this book was a mix of science fiction and mystery. Those are two genres that I love, though I don't read science fiction as frequently as I used to. However, after reading Murder In Retrograde, I want to get back to reading science fiction, especially dystopian. As soon as Carver was asked to look into a potential illegal hydrocarbon combustion, I was curious to see what he would find and whether he would find more than he had anticipated. I was intrigued by the suspense of possibly discovering something that he wasn't expecting, and I had a strong suspicion that there might be one.
The suspense kept me on turning the pages, and before I knew it, hours had passed since I started reading. I enjoyed the author's magical dystopian world. I found myself transformed into the world, investigating alongside Marcus Carver. I couldn't help but wonder who was to blame, and just when I thought I had it all figured out, another unexpected twist made me reconsider everything. I thought the middle of the book was a little slow, and there were a few too many descriptions, but that did not stop me from reading. The final few pages kept me glued to the story because I wanted to know how it would end. I would strongly recommend this book to any science fiction and suspense fans.
