Book Review

The Devil You Know

EW's GRADE
B

Details Genres: Mystery and Thriller, Occult and Paranormal; Publisher: Grand Central Publishing

In Mike Carey’s imaginative spin on the hard-boiled detective, Felix Castor is a world-weary freelance exorcist hired to rid a London museum of a ghost. Encounters with wolf men, demons, and, most dangerous of all, Eastern European criminals follow.

Grisliest Death
A succubus rips off and devours a gent's private bits.

Final Word
Though too wordy in parts, The Devil You Know mixes horror and humor in a way that spells good omens for future Castor novels. B
