  I loved this book. It's been a few months since I read the preceding book in the series, so some of the details had faded from my memory.
  
  I loved the characters, I loved the writing, the story was ok and the Toronto locales were introduced in a pleasant and familiar way, not in an annoying way, such as I've written 100 words, so now let's add a name for local interest. I hope this series reached a larger audience than just a Canadian/Toronto market. I put this up with Louise Penny's stories...maybe better?
  
  I'll look for the next book in the series and hope Rosemary Aubert is still out there writing.

  This is a beautifully written story of the redemption of a man with many faults as he tries to defeat pure evil on his little patch of earth.

  I always have a weakness for books:
  set in areas that I've lived in/near
  that are well written
  that read "real"
  that provoke thought & reflection
  & this book was no exception.
  
  Thoroughly enjoyable, with an underlying sense of hope. Brilliant.

  An intriging sleuth - a fallen judge who's recovering from being homeless. But that's the only intriguing thing about the book. Don't bother.

  Ex-judge Ellis Portal, now homeless and destitute in Toronto, is asked by police during investigation of a murder to assist in the search for the missing daughter of the victim, who has disappeared, because of his connections with the homeless community in the city. He asks his friends and fellow homeless for information and goes into the Toronto underground, abandoned buildings, and caves in the cliffside and anywhere he suspects the girl is hiding. Most of the storyline is about his interactions with the homeless, their hopelessness, and the gritty underbelly of the city. He finally finds the girl in the last 16 pages and uncovers the details of the murder, but it turns out sad and unsatisfying.

  In a word....boring! This book is quite short, at 250 pages. I simply could not enjoy the characters, the story slogged along, but I did feel the pull that it would get better, so I finished it. What can you say about a book where, 9 pages away from the end of the book, and a gun is being pointed at our hero, when you can put the book down and walk away and do something else! Oh dear. Well I finished it, and it wasn't awful... so 2 stars.
