MY REVIEW OF Mars at Twilight
Detective Ace
Sloan is taking a well-needed vacation at the Pleasure Dome Resort when he
notices a flurry of police activity. Even on vacation he can’t pass on a murder
investigation. It seems the son of the wealthy Martian agri-business mogul was
the victim. Then, when another family member is also murdered, Sloan and his
partner conclude that the Billings family has been targeted and they must
unravel the clues quickly to figure out why, and who is the murderer.
I always enjoy
reading about Ace Sloan’s investigations. I had mixed feelings this time
though. I was unhappy with the ending, and that’s all I can say without giving
spoilers. As usual, I liked the plot being on Martian soil, and following a
murder investigation. I’m glad Sloan finally achieves a relationship. That was
a pleasant surprise. After the first three books, I feel like he deserved it.
This was a short read, but had plenty of action going on to keep me engrossed.
