DEVIL'S HEAVEN : DEVIL'S HEAVEN (Neil Hockaday Mystery)

Rating:
Summary: Violent, and a step back for Hock series..
Review: "Devil's Heaven" is the fourth in the Neil Hockaday series, and it is not as good as the first three. This book has darker themes, and more violence than the first three, and it doesn't quite work. Hock is still a great character, and Davy Mogill is also an interesting character, but the pizzaz is missing from this one. Hock and his wife, Ruby attempt to find a serial killer in this novel, and they run into a notorious homophobic cop at Sex Crimes "King Kong" Kowolski. The serial killer is killing off gay men, and Hock is one of the only few that care enough to find the killer before he kills more "respectable" people. Included a graphic depiction of forced sodomy.
