Out Now: Frost (Keith Murphy #2)
The second Keith Murphy Urban Fantasy Thriller hit the shelves yesterday. Revised and revamped since the 2015 release, Frost is a sleeker and tighter short novel than it once was. If you’re on the fence about giving Keith a try, I’ll direct you to my favourite review of the first edition over on Goodreads: This second instalment in Peter Ball’s grubby Gold Coast urban fantasy series is like a perfect lesson in how to frame the middle part of a trilogy –Return of established characters? Check.–Introduction of new characters? Check.–Exploration of the status quo from book 1? Check.–Shake-up of that status quo? Check.–Exploration of the greater world/setting? Check.–Higher stakes and tension than the previous book? Check. If you enjoyed Exile, this is a terrific follow-up that does everything right. (Although I still wish the editing and proofreading was a bit tighter.) If you haven’t read Exile then go away, read it, come back and [[see start of paragraph]]. Review by Patrick O’Duffy You
