Review:
Another cracker from Joe Ide
I loved the first two IQ novels and this is just as good.
In this outing,
Isaiah becomes involved in a couple of cases which become entangled;
principally, he needs to find the mother of Grace (whom we remember
from last time) who, it turns out, has compromising photos of
atrocities in Abu Ghraib. The very tough perpetrators of those
atrocities want them back and come after Grace and Isaiah with huge
resources and horrible brutality. Meanwhile, Dodson is finding
working with Isaiah tough, but we learn that he, too, has a heart and
the tangled cases lead to a very exciting and sometimes very funny
read.
Joe Ide is a great
storyteller, balancing excitement, brutality, humour and real human
tenderness perfectly, and his dialogue is quite brilliant. This is developing into a truly great series
of books, in my view. I found Wrecked completely involving and I can
recommend it very warmly.
