4.05
Part of "Garrett Files" series
"Deadly Quicksilver Lies" by Glen Cook is a gripping addition to the author's acclaimed "Garrett P.I." series. This urban fantasy novel takes readers on a thrilling journey through the criminal underworld of TunFaire, where private investigator Garrett is once again embroiled in a deadly conspiracy. The story begins when Garrett is hired to find a missing person, but soon discovers that the case is far more complex than he initially thought. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of lies and deceit involving a powerful and dangerous new alchemical substance known as quicksilver. With the help of his motley crew of friends, Garrett must navigate the treacherous waters of TunFaire's criminal underworld to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice. Cook's world-building is second to none, and "Deadly Quicksilver Lies" is no exception. The city of TunFaire is brought to life in vivid detail, with its labyrinthine streets, diverse population, and rich history. The characters are equally well-drawn, with Garrett's wry humor and self-deprecating wit providing a welcome counterpoint to the darkness of the story. One of the strengths of this novel is Cook's ability to balance the supernatural elements of the story with more grounded, realistic ones. The use of alchemy and magic is intricately woven into the fabric of the story, but never feels overpowering or gratuitous. Instead, it adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the plot, making for a truly immersive reading experience. Overall, "Deadly Quicksilver Lies" is a must-read for fans of urban fantasy and noir detective stories. Its intricate plot, well-drawn characters, and vivid world-building make it a standout addition to the "Garrett P.I." series, and a worthy successor to Cook's earlier works. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer to Cook's writing, this novel is sure to leave you wanting more...
