Full Dark House
by Christopher Fowler
Mystery. This creative take on the detective novel tells the stories of John May's and Arthur Bryant's first case (a 1940 murder in a theater)...and their last (involving an explosion at their modern-day London Peculiar Crime Unit's headquarters, which is related to the earlier killing and leaves nothing behind of the elderly Bryant but his false teeth). May goes over decades-old information and memories in order to figure out what the World War II-era murder has to do with the explosion. With writing that makes London come to life, banter-filled dialogue, and quirky detectives you'll enjoy spending time with, this 1st in a fantastic series is a perfect read for those looking for something a bit different.
