Shut Your Eyes Tight (Dave Gurney, No. 2): A Novel ReviewI thoroughly enjoyed Verdon's first novel Think of a Number but feel that he has really tightened up his writing for this second book in the Dave Gurney series.
What's not to like? We have early-retired NY police detective Gurney, still at the top of his game, living out in the verdant countryside with his happily countrified wife, Madeleine. But Gurney is having a hard time wrapping his mind around the fact that he ain't doing what he does best any more - tracking down the really bad guys.
So he lectures at the police academy (great reading about his teaching techniques BTW), and tries to seem reluctant (to Madeleine) when he's offered a job consulting on a horrific murder.
There are predatory women, unattached heads, footprints that disappear, coyotes that come and go, sex addicts, dumb ex-detectives that are Roofied because I guess they've never heard "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," a long-time marriage between total opposites with all its ups and downs, an audition for White-Trash Poster Boy (great designation), foreign gangsters.
I love this driven character that Verdon has created in Dave Gurney. And I also love his wife and their marriage. I love the puzzles he presents us in his books and the in-depth characterization.
This is a book I will be keeping and reading again in the future. I love Verdon's writing style - and because of that, I did not feel "Shut Your Eyes Tight" was too long at all. I savored each and every word.Shut Your Eyes Tight (Dave Gurney, No. 2): A Novel Overview
