About this listen
'In a way, the hate felt good. You were righteous, godlike, the dispenser of justice . . .'
Super-smart sleuth Isaiah Quintabe - IQ to his friends - has built a mostly respectable life for himself, helping out friends and neighbours when he can and taking the occasional case to make ends meet. But there is one mystery that still haunts him almost ten years later - did his brother really die in a hit-and-run or was there more to the story behind his death?
IQ has been approached by his brother's former girlfriend Sarita, whose younger sister, an erratic DJ and gambling addict, has gone missing in Las Vegas - with a frightening loan shark, Chinese Triad gangsters, and her own deadbeat boyfriend hot on her tail. Accompanied once more by his fast-talking, don't-call-me-a-sidekick partner Dodson, IQ heads off for the casinos and massage parlours of Las Vegas. His quest takes an unexpected turn when he meets a criminal mastermind who knows something about the murky circumstances that surrounded his brother's death. But when Isaiah learns the truth, what will he do with it?

Enjoyable but not as tight as the first.
Thankfully, the dodgy audio has been fixed this time around. Not as tight as the first, plot holes you could drive a drop-kicking JC Van Damme through, but still a thoroughly good read.
It feels more like a transitional novel: allowing IQ to head out of his hood and widen the parameters of the story- telling. As the book itself alludes, unless this happens, it’s not realistic to expect IQ to do much more than chase off playground bullies and abusive spouses without the whole thing becoming unbelievable. So it’s a necessary step on the way to letting the characters breathe.

Great story brilliantly narrated
Another awesome story from Joe Ide, just as good as the first with great characterisation and plot. Fabulous narration from an unbelievable talent.

Worth waiting for
After IQ I'd been patiently waiting for the sequel and was much worth it. Great story, good pace. Well enjoyed.

not quite as as good as the first
Another great story featuring the characters from the first story, and some great new ones too.
A little less intriguing this time around but still a riveting tale, and great take on a modern Sherlock.

Enjoyable Detective Story
Decent narrative, interesting characters, well considering plot that keeps the reader (listener) hooked. It's an excellent variation on the detective genre and just as good as the first novel in the series. Only gripe, I found the end a bit implausible (based on the characters previous actions) but that might just be me. Overall well worth the investment of time.
