Not what I expected from Robert Crais.
Main characters in “The Monkey's Raincoat”, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, are kind of likable, but the plot is very weak and the mystery is almost a joke.
A good whodunit needs to have cool characters but even more important is a compelling story and an intelligent mystery. Robert Crais doesn’t accomplish that with this book. I waited in vein for those twists that keep you guessing, but nothing.
I don’t know if I’m going to read another book from this author, but if I happen to do it I think I’m going straight for “L.A. Requiem”, a book many readers think is Robert Crais’ best.
Cheers
