When Things Fall Apart by Alan Brenham Kit Hanover Series #1 ~ This one was hard for me to get into and I almost gave up on about page ten BUT decided to keep reading and the story did eventually draw me in and keep me reading ~ What I liked: * The use “Ken” as the name for the killer that would keep the killer hidden longer * Kit Hanover: 23-year-old new police homicide detective, adopted, Native American, adopted, loving parents, bright, capable, enjoys homicide but able to switch to vice with ease, dating Don Hudson * Kit’s parents: father a lawyer, mother works in real estate, married 25 years, faithful, loving * That even though the racist bigotry nearly had me DNF I was able to continue after reading the end of the book and a bit from the middle * Not knowing who the killer was till further into the story than usual * The police procedural aspects of the story and that the killer was eventually uncovered and dealt with * Thinking about how twisted the killer’s mental state must have been and learning that jealousy can lead to murder * Starting the series on the first book and thinking about what Kit might get up to next * The glimpse into Vice while Kit worked there a few days What I didn’t like: * Detective Shepherd: off-putting, racist, bigoted, rude, belittling, inappropriate, offensive – did redeem himself a bit toward the end of the story * The Killer: easily disliked and wished Karma or Justice to deal with him sooner than later * The crimes committed by the killer and the damage done to those who died and those who survived Did I like this book? Eventually Would I read more in this series? I think so Thank you to NetGalley and Book Go Social for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars
