While the mystery is compelling, the highlight of this book are the personalities, from the smart African-American cop who has a Texan bombshell for a wife to his looming Japanese partner who's a fan of Disney cartoons. The various characters have their own voice and unique character quirks, complementing this fast-paced story with memorable protagonists.
This is one of those books where you should just take a leap of faith and simply enjoy the prose wherever it takes you. Overall, The City In These Pages was a fun read: nothing too astounding although Grant does own up to the McBain tribute and infuses it with his own unique elements.
