Fall Down Easy

Geist Staff
Tags

Laurence Gough has another police procedural out from McClelland & Stewart: Fall Down Easy is a fast read and fun, but not much different from the American prototype. One of the protagonist cops is a woman, which is nice, and there are plenty of Canadian place and street names, which is always very nice, but the local geography of Vancouver goes to hell in this book in a very strange way: Gough has the west side of the city down pat, but once his protagonists cross into the east side (and they are always arguing about routes, so it's easy to follow them), nothing makes sense any more: north-south streets run east-west and entire city blocks are shifted whole kilometres for no apparent reason. Are royalties so high that Gough need never venture into the scary east side?
