Not With A Bang

Owl & Raccoon Locked Room Mysteries #3

by Matt Ingwalson

A gunman takes over a city bus. When the siege ends, one hostage remains unaccounted for. A teenage boy who seems to have vanished into thin air. The third Owl & Raccoon novella stays true to everything that has made the series a hit, pairing raw cop talk with a locked room puzzle. It will delight fans of Michael Connelly and Agatha Christie alike.

About the author

I write all sorts of thrillers - police procedurals, occult horror and absurdist noir. Where to start?

If you're into tricky mysteries without too much violence, give the Owl and Raccoon detective series a try. If you'd prefer to dive into something darker, try Sever and Camille. These two books together tell a nostalgic story full of witchcraft and serial killers. Mary Monster is my most challenging book, a stylized, literary take on gothic noir.

Reviews

Final in the Owl and Raccoon series, and a nice little wrap up for both of the characters. The "mystery" aspect to this one left me a little flat, it felt more like a halfidea that was missing another component or accompanying piece.

I like this book. Which is a good sign, since I wrote it. I'd love to hear what you think.
