Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes442 Pages
The book opens with the discovery of a bizaare crime. A young boy has been killed and cut in half. From the waist down he has the body of a fawn. Dectective Gabriella Versado is the lead investigator of the murder in a story that revolves around the dying city of Detroit. A wide cast of characters populates the book from T.K. a homeless guy to Jonno, a journalist trying to get ahead with an online blog.
A fairly good procedural interspersed with a fantastical streak that in my opinion takes away from the story. I understand that the author was trying to show the killer's worldview but when it started affecting others it brought the story down.
