kopper A definite must-read, especially for foodies and fans of the Pacific Northwest.
I'm beginning to think that all novelists should start out as poets - certainly the best books I've read recently have been written by poets.
An entertainment, a mystery, some sly and some not-so-subtle digs at millennial Vancouver, with some glorious descriptions of our environment - in all its seasons - and flashes of brilliant word play.
It took me awhile to get around to reading this, and in the meantime the Vancouver food scene caught up to Taylor's prescient observations. The strong sense of place reinforces Taylor's protagonists' assertions about how we need to be rooted in the ground we live on.
Except for some jarring editing slips near the end - spellchecking is not editing, folks! - this might have even rated at 5 star level for me.
