I have been a fan of Michael Marshall (Smith) since I read Spares quite a few years ago. I was expecting to like this book, but instead I loved it. Much like the Straw Men Trilogy, the action drives the book, but is not the main focus. Slowly and skillfully, Marshall morphs the story from possible paranoia to unfold the mystery and reveal the supernatural cause of the "Bad Things". The plot itself was interesting but what blew me away was the writing itself. I was completely absorbed and did not want it to stop every time I picked it up. The simple, yet insightful wisdom of the John Henderson character would pop-up at perfect moments and I would have to re-read sections just to enjoy great quotes and insights. Two examples: "Men are great with tidy, dust somehow eludes us" (this describes me so well I laughed out loud) and "What would we do without TV? Live, I guess. And sometimes you're just not in the mood for it". The way he handles the various situations are sometimes skillful. At other times he employs the "blunt hammer approach" which may not be the best tactic. This makes him flawed, which makes him more realistic. This tale makes me hungry for more backstory and I hope that the author revisits this character. His sarcastic sense of humor plays well against the more serious action and elements of the narrative. John Henderson is such a deep, well conceived, fully fleshed-out protagonist. His loss drives him, but no longer consumes him. As usual, Marshall delivers an engaging read that is realistic despite a supernatural mystery. The supernatural aspects are not the focus, the thoughts, emotions and motivations of John Henderson are what make this such an enjoyable book.

While helping his mentor Simon discovers a secret that challenges everything he thought he knew. Now it’s up to him to save the day and hopefully the future in Anton Strout’s Dead Matter… With Simon’s mentor Connor on an extended holiday, Simon is forced to handle a double workload just when there are ghost and weird monsters sightings all over town. When Simon finally finds a moment to look in on Connor he finds him plagued by nightmares and frantically searching for clues regarding his brother’s disappearance decades ago. Suspecting the nightmares might actually be real, Simon and Jane decide to investigate and discover that the truth is far beyond their wildest imaginings! Personally I think Dead Matter is the best in the series so far. Lots of action from start to finish, perfect pacing, engaging characters and lots of humour. Dead Matter really is a vastly entertaining book! The new characters are all very appealing, so I’m hoping to meet them again in the next book. Seriously, who can resist an immortal who has renamed himself Brandon Walsh? I also liked Allorah, a strong female character with a tragic past, and Aidan among the new characters in this book. Reading a Simon Canderous novel always has me chuckling throughout the book, so I expected- and received- more of the same. I love sentences like: “Besides, like the woman said, no one messes with Taco Night.” and “I winced at the Sound of Music reference, but double winced at myself for recognizing it.” Why I left this book on my TBR shelf for so long will forever remain a mystery to me. Definitely a BIG mistake. Dead Waters, the 4th book in the series, was released last year, so I will waste little time buying it and I will definitely be reading it shortly afterwards!
