The Demon Detective Agency Review

 


Writer: Tom Kane

Price: $0.99 ebook

Release Date: June 8, 2023

 

May Brubaker rose through the ranks in the LAPD. When her partner died in mysterious circumstances, her fellow officers blamed her. Thankfully, Gary left May some money in his will. Now, May lives in Gary's house, cares for his dog, and runs a computer equipment supply store with tech wiz Phil. Her handyman, Jimmy, is preparing the house for her big weekend. Her long-distance boyfriend is coming to visit. May is thirty years old. She wants to firm up her relationship with Dan. So why is May suddenly thinking of her mother?

 

In The Demon Detective Agency, a ripple through the multiverse weakens a barrier to a forbidden realm. Some claim it doesn't exist. Yet demons dwell there. They rage at the humans who banished them. Now, they can escape the darkness. The demon Polydorus has a mission. Her search for a magical object will turn May's world into a living hell.

 

Tom Kane keeps the action moving thick and fast. He switches the spotlight frequently, so you never get bored. Plot developments keep you guessing. As Polydorus causes bloodshed and chaos, the demon fills May's world with illusions and blood. Oh yes, lots of blood.

 

Tom paints the history surrounding May’s adventures in broad strokes. I’m still not quite sure how all his set pieces fit together. While everything gradually knit together as I read, the bonds unraveled shortly afterward.

 

After reading The Demon Detective Agency several months ago, I recently reread it. Then, I refreshed my mind with the opening chapters and made a few notes. Suddenly, I was 30% into the novel on my third read! The Demon Detective Agency is an infectious read that will tempt you to read it many times. Tom Kane seasons his novel with dinosaurs, a love triangle, many versions of May and Gary, and zombies. So sit down in your favorite chair with some tea and biscuits. Expect some restrained sex scenes and explicit violence and carnage as May battles supernatural forces in Los Angeles and across May’s Multiverse Of Madness. It’s a wild ride!
