Valin creates evolving detective

After several installments in the Harry Stoner series, Jonathan Valin has finally taken Stoner to the next step. The series had become somewhat stale and uneven, but this novel brought a breath of freshness to character that could have become a cliche. In contrast to past installments of the series, this novel is much about who Harry Stoner is rather than what he does. The novel covers Stoner's investigation into the suicide of troubled bi-sexual man and has him considering a new relationship with the man's girlfriend. It's the introspection of this novel that makes it interesting. If you like this novel, you may want to read Valin's "Extenueting Circumstances" which is grittier and darker.
