The protagonist in Trouble in Mind by Michael Wiley is Sam Kelson, a retired police detective, turned private I. He has an interesting back story; he was shot in the head resulting in damage in the part of the brain that controls inhibitions. Sam says whatever comes to mind and answers questions with the truth no matter what the consequences. In a profession where truth telling may get one in trouble, this creates particularly difficult situations. So while the disinhibition generates interesting conflict, the situations he puts himself in are illogical and at times ridiculous. He is so often incompetent - after people break into his office 5 times due to an inadequate lock, he still doesn't change it to protect himself. I rolled my eyes at his ineptitude too many times to be interested in reading more about him. ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I really enjoyed this book. I don't believe I have ever ready anything with a main character quite like Sam Kelson. He truly had me on the edge of my seat by what would come out of his mouth next. There were times I thought to myself "No, Sam don't say that!!". I figured out the twist maybe a couple chapters before it was revealed, but it was still an exciting journey and I can't wait to listen to the next audio book in the series. I hope Sam continues his partnership with Rodman. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.

Sam sets out to try and find out who set him up while the murders countinue to grow. At the same time he continues to irritate everyone by continuous talking, and blurting out everything he is thinking A very good mystery with a great cast of characters. Look forward to his next book. I received this book in exchange for a review. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. A noir detective novel set in present-day Chicago. The catch with the protagonist is that he has a traumatic brain injury from being shot in the head two years previously when he was a police officer and a drug bust went awry (the drug dealer was killed). This brain injury causes Sam Kelson to lack inhibition- he just says whatever's on his mind at the moment, including hitting on women in his vicinity or being unable to hide from a killer who asks where he is. This character aspect is reminiscent of the main character in Motherless Brooklyn who has Tourette's Syndrome and cannot stop interjecting non-sensical statements and phrases into just about any conversation. Both characters are social outcasts- in the case of Kelson, his wife even divorced him, and he has few friends. Trouble in Mind is decently written for a noir suspense mystery, with some good writing popping up frequently, however, the plot meanders and turns in on itself a few times as Kelton searches out the same people in the same spots over and over. Sam Kelson is an endearing figure, however, in a world of crazy characters. Recommended as a quick noir detective read, but probably won't win any awards (famous last words?). Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Sam Kelson is a PI with a problem: since he was shot in the head during a drug bust gone wrong in his previous career as a cop, he suffers from disinhibition — blurting out the truth (or whatever is on his mind), often at very inconvenient times.This is a very violent mystery novel, but Kelson’s personality and the group of friends and family around him make it an enjoyable and quick read. I listened to this on audio, and thought the narrator handled the quirky nature of the characters well. I look forward to reading or listening to the next book in the series. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Introducing maverick Chicago private investigator Sam Kelson in the first of a hardhitting new crime noir series. Sam Kelson is a PI like no other. As a consequence of being shot in the head while working undercover as a Chicago cop, he suffers from disinhibition: he cannot keep silent or tell lies when questioned. But truth be told - and Kelson always tells the truth - he still feels compelled to investigate and, despite the odds, he's good at his job. Hired by Trina Felbanks to investigate her pharmacist brother, whom she suspects is dealing drugs, Kelson arrives at Felbanks' home to make a shocking discovery. Arrested on suspicion of murder, he makes an even more startling discovery concerning his client's identity. Kelson would appear to have been set up ... but by whom, and why? As events spiral out of control and the body count rises, Kelson realizes he's made a dangerously powerful enemy. Will he survive long enough to discover who has targeted him - and what it is they want? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
