Detour Man had me from the beginning when the colossal diesel, Gunter Hoffman, walked into the aptly named office of BIG (Briggs Investigative Group). Desperately lonely and suffering from a severe case of body dysmorphia, Gunter becomes the unwitting victim of a murder frame-up. As if he didn’t have enough troubles already…
Excellent dialogue comes to life by the first-rate narrator. The characters are vivid, the pacing is quick yet there is depth to this story. It is relevant and entertaining, a great read all around.
