Will I love Falling Angel?

Falling Angel reminds me of an end of the night dream—a hazy and disjointed story, with music I can barely hear and a puzzle I know I’ve solved before though, at the moment, I can’t remember how.

I recommend this book because of the author's hard-boiled writing style and how he describes the scenes.
