Every time you review one of these I think “huh, that sounds interesting” but then I never do anything about it. Maybe once the author abandons the series or wraps it up I might give it a whirl…
I still remember you saying on the review of the previous book that you’d be interested in this if it had an ending too hahhah So far it just seems like an episodic series but they haven’t yet announced if a 5th book is in the works right now though!
Well, this sounds very intriguing indeed! I particularly like the concept of multiple personalities each possessing a piece of the puzzle to be solved, and I wonder how much this element complicates the whole plot. Fascinating…. 😉
Right? It’s a fun idea to integrate in a mystery series, although it almost feels like it’s too coincidental for someone with such a personality to find herself in such a situation too hahaha Thanks for reading, Maddalena! 😀
Goodness me, five different personalities! Nope, can’t even imagine what that must be like, personally I can just about master one personality on a good day 😉 . Sounds like the author has found a good balance between captivating storytelling and a humorous tone. Excellent review!
Hahahahaa I’m with you there. Although, to some extent, I praise TALENTED actors–I emphasize on talented–who can put up a different personality whenever they want! It must be pretty cool to be so good at being fake. It is indeed a great series and this one reminded me why it was fun to follow the adventures of IQ and Dodson! 😀 Thanks for reading!
I’m not familiar with Joe Ide, so thanks for introducing me. I like the sound of this one. It’s funny, when you were talking about having multiple compartments I couldn’t help but remember growing up when my brother always said he had multiple compartments in his stomach, and that dessert compartment just ALWAYS seemed to have room left in it, no matter how large dinner had been. 🙂
Hahahaahahaha it’s such a dude logic thing. It now made me think of the famous “nothing” box that only guys have and use to space out! 😛 Glad to introduce this author and his series to you though. Thank you for reading, Todd! 😀
That’s so cool to hear! I always wonder how YOU would react to series like these hahah What’s the last mystery/thriller you actually read by the way? 😮
It sounds great! The character with 5 personalities must be super interesting! I’ve never read work of fiction with this mental disorder but I’m sure it makes a great plot if it’s used correctly 😊 Also, the fact that the title of the 4th volume is “Hi FIVE” is so confusing 😞

This is waiting for me at the library, am tempted to call in sick so I can spend a day with it 🙂

Awww ye! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I do wonder if Joe Ide will write more books in this series or try something else next.

I’m game for either. Just happy if his voice is out there.

Ian Rankin, Knots and Crosses, last year. Before that, mostly Nesbo, and before that, classics: Conan Doyle and Christie 😉

And yes, I do think that a psychiatrist would find this ridiculous to some extent but since it’s fiction, it’s quite fun hahah
I completely agree. I didn’t like that he didn’t try to keep this story for a 5th book instead tooooo! 😦

Hahahah I guess the “five” is for the number of personalities so he could’ve done a character with only four personalities 😂

Exactly. Although five personalities sounds better than four for some reason! 😛
