  • Absolution on June 08, 2012

    Also on http://ttoria.blogspot.com My thoughts: More three and a half, than just a solid three star rating. I enjoyed Absolution, even though I rarely read Detective Mysteries. The supernatural spin was great and the characters were likeable. But before going into that, I'll explain the plot: Private Detective Ray Adams is shot and killed in 1947 and sent to the Abstract Realm, where his afterlife consists of endless fabricated scenarios, meant to rid his soul of impurities. He's not alone in the Realm, Shadow Monger, Harry, is there. But it's not until another Shadow Monger visits that Ray gets his shot at absolution when he's given the opportunity to solve a murder in Hollywood. But it's not any old murder investigation, brought back to life for only twenty-four hours, he has to find out who murdered Gio, a Pit Lordling (and son of Pit Lord, Lucifer) and locate his missing soul. Faced with supernatural and celestial beings, Ray's investigation soon spirals out of control when more dead bodies begin to rack up without souls and every lead he gets; pushes him further into chaos. Absolution pretty much has a lot going on with quite a few characters. But these characters do help add to the mystery of who the culprit actually is. I changed my mind a few times when trying to figure it out. I liked Ray instantly, a no-fear kind of guy, he knows how to do his job well and thinks fast when in sticky situations. The fact he had a thunderbolt gun just made him cooler lol. Once fired at a target, a moment later the target would then be struck with a strong lightening bolt.
