The Authorities by Scott Meyer [Amazon, Kindle]

From the author of the webcomic Basic Instructions and the delightful Magic 2.0 series of books comes a fine… detective novel? It follows a police officer hired by a wealthy philanthropist who is assembling a private sector crime solving task force.

This was a fine novel, and like all of Scott Meyer’s stuff, it’s very witty and readable. It’s not my favorite of his, though. I feel like he’s setting up a series here, and there’s more to be developed. I guess I’ll wait to see how it continues, if it does.
