I picked this up because I was a huge fan of the show Haven, and supposedly, the show is based of this book. If you’re also a Haven fan wanting to read this book—beware that there’s no Audrey, Nathan, Duke, or Troubles. This is more of a straight forward crime mystery, rather than an out-there sci fi crime show.
It was enjoyable enough to read, but many people will be upset by how it ends. A lot of people won’t even get last the format; the entirety of the book is just a couple guys telling the story of what they know about the crime to a new hire.
The mystery itself is interesting enough I guess, but overall the book is just a bit of a bore. Sy-Fy had the right idea juicing it up with the Troubles and the glorious Audrey Parker.
