The Smiling Man by Joseph Knox is book 2 in his Aidan Waits series. “Aidan is back on the night shift where the screw-ups in the Manchester PD end up. The monotony of lonesome nights is shattered when Aidan and his partner are called to investigate a break-in at The Palace, an empty hotel in the middle of the city.” Some more great crime fiction from Knox. We get a little backstory of Aidan and it’s brutal. (What great detective doesn’t have a tough history?) Aidan has to live with his choices and his current situation is rough, but most of all he wants to solve the crime. Knox gives us a crazy cast of characters - most are not the warm and fuzzy kind. This is gritty crime fiction. Waits a great anti-hero. This releases in January but you can still order from @bookdepository (and some Amazon resellers) If you liked Sirens, you’ll really enjoy Smiling Man. #thesmilingman #josephknox #aidanwaits #urbannoir #britishcrimefiction #bookstagram #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklovers #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #crimenovel #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #readsomebooks #fiction #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXo-5lHGu0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15ewbvne5kr9g
