World of Trouble by Ben H Winters

World of Trouble (The Last Policeman, #3)

by Ben H Winters

Critically acclaimed author Ben H. Winters delivers this explosive final installment in the Edgar Award winning Last Policeman series. With the doomsday asteroid looming, Detective Hank Palace has found sanctuary in the woods of New England, secure in a well-stocked safe house with other onetime members of the Concord police force. But with time ticking away before the asteroid makes landfall, Hank's safety is only relative, and his only relative-his sister Nico-isn't safe. Soon, it's clear that there's more than one earth-shattering revelation on the horizon, and it's up to Hank to solve the puzzle before time runs outfor everyone.

So very underwhelmed by this trilogy, which annoys me because I'd wanted to read it for such a long time. The first one is good. The second one is less good and the third one is pretty mediocre. Cool premise, good writing style that does make me interested in reading more by this author someday, but the mystery plots are just not very strong or interesting. By the third one I couldn't make myself even pretend to care.
