This book is strikingly different from anything I’d read recently. In the world of the book, dinosaurs haven’t become extinct, but have evolved into smaller, somewhat more flexible creatures than previously. And they live among humans, disguised in rubber human-suits. And although they’re impervious to the intoxicating effects of alcohol, they get drunk on basil.
It’s ridiculous, but very enjoyably so. The narration is smooth, the dialog is snappy, the tone is breezy, and the story makes for a fast and funny read. The plot gets a bit complicated but Garcia ties it all up at the end.
The main character is a private detective, Vincent Rubio, who hasn’t recovered from the murder of his partner a year prior. Battling a nasty herb addiction as well as vicious collection agencies, Rubio has a long battle for redemption, not to mention revenge.
Garcia has announced prequels and sequels featuring some of the same characters. I will definitely be reading these too.
