Products similar to Bad Things - Michael Marshall

Well developed characters, good plot Slightly confusing

Another gripping, gritty thriller from an established female talent Gets a bit complicated towards the books climax with lots of false leads

Toning down of the superhuman abilities.. ..but not quite enough just yet.

Chilli is one cool cat, interesting structure Narrative sucks, no other compelling characters

Great descriptions, Thrilling Plot, intersting method of delivery (a story within a story) Follows only one character so there is a narrow view of events in the book.

Funny, deadpan writing that portrays a world of darkness and intrigue Not everybody may like Kurkov's style
