Kat Green tracks down former celebrities who have dropped out of the public eye. Which seems like a dick move to me. But several that she found have made a comeback, so I guess that’s ok? Maybe? Anyway, she’s now obsessed with Roskoe Darke, who belonged to the band Scorpio Hearts. He quit the band and disappeared in 1985. With very little to go on will Kat find him?
Kat is a loner. She moves around a lot chasing down celebrities who have dropped out of the limelight. I’m not sure why she feels the need to do this. If I dropped out of sight I’d want people to leave me alone. Anyway, she is a pretty good detective. She has way more patience than I would which is why I’m not a detective, with the police or private.
I didn’t really connect with Kat or the guy she meets, Seth. Something about him just seems off, but that may be me projecting. Roskoe’s mysterious disappearance is a bit of a stretch, but who really knows? I love the reveals that happen, but I’m dissatisfied with the ending. So this ends up being a mixed bag for me. However, I think it’s a decent mystery with a tiny bit of sci-fi (possibly?) thrown in, so pick it up and let me know what you think.
