I started reading this book January 10, 2012 and finished it today, January 28, 2012. It was a special priced Nook Book that caught my attention by its blurb.
In <b>The Abbey</b> the reader is introduced to Detective Ash Rashid of Indianapolis, Indiana. Ash is a family man with a pregnant wife and little four year old Meagan. Ash is struggling against alcoholism, and a case involving his teenage niece. Was it murder or an unfortunate accident? Things become even more complicated when Ash finds out his niece was a sanguinarian - a blood drinker.
Chris Culver brings us into Ash Rashid's world in an up-close and personal manner. The action is not always quick, but it is logical and it is necessary, especially how Ash faces his world and his problems.
This book kept me reading because I genuinely wanted to know what happened. It wasn't filled with unnecessary side trips and the secondary story line worked perfectly!
There were a couple of typographical/editorial errors, but only a couple. I am going to keep an eye out for Detective Rashid in the future. This was one of the best books to relax with that I have found in a long time except for Stephanie Plum's adventures - although Detective Rashid is grittier than Stephanie, and his world is somewhat more dark, but the bright spots are what keep him, and us going.
I give it four out of give stars * * * *
