What Waits for You - Joseph Schneider
Publication Date: Jan. 5, 2021
This is the second in the Detective Tully Jarsdel series. I read the first and enjoyed it. I thought the main character, a former academic with an almost completed PhD in history was unique and interesting; the different slant on the protagonist, refreshing. In this book, not so refreshing….in fact, a bit of a boor.
The grisly background story is the pursuit of a serial killer dubbed the Eastside Creeper who does grotesque things to his victims. Unfortunately, the novel got bogged down with lots of digressions into other subplots as well as the psyche of Jarsdel. These threw off the rhythm of the novel and interrupted the suspense.
