A+ #BookReview: The Dentist by George Sullivan
My Review: Murder mysteries usually begin with a dead body - even if the body hasn’t been found in the first chapter. That’s the usual. The victim of this particular murder is a homeless man, and it’s unfortunately also usual that the undermanned and underfunded police generally do not put much investigative effort into such cases - even though it’s obvious that this man has been murdered.
