What happens when a ghastly murder takes place in a convenience store? Nothing Happens All the Time: Homicides Truly Know How to Interrupt a Good Meal! by Edmund Mahon answers this question, but not in the way that readers would have imagined. Eli Mitchell is a committed detective and a very skilled one at that, a man who loves his coffee, has his regular cases to work on, and those occasional moments that allow him some fresh air. When tasked to investigate a homicide he thought to be just another case among others, he doesn’t imagine, even faintly, that this case will test everything he thinks he knows, and will plunge him into a series of events that are as threatening as they are incomprehensible. Does he have what it takes to competently resolve this case?
Set against the backdrop of Boston sixty years in the future, Nothing Happens All the Time: Homicides Truly Know How to Interrupt a Good Meal! is a thriller that is as engaging as it is entertaining. The characters are wonderfully thought out and the writing masterfully executed. To write about events happening sixty years in the future, and to make readers feel that they are real, takes a lot of skill and imagination and Edmund Mahon has both. The author shows a lot of mastery in the area of science and police detective work, and has created a perfect story with characters that are believable and compelling. There is a lot of suspense that makes readers keep on turning the pages and guessing. This is a book with multi-layered conflict and a perfect finish, one of those books you read and want to read again.
