Book Review: Greg Moody’s Deadroll: a cycling murder mystery (Boulder, CO: VeloPress, 2001)


In Will Ross, Moody has created a sort of Everyman, if your ordinary Joe was an ex-bike racer whose past is filled with death and destruction. Deadroll appears to be the 3rd in a series featuring Ross, but this is the only one that our local library had. It’s reasonably well-written, with an occasional section that really grabs the reader, but it also features some very breathless, angst-ridden prose that one sort of slogs through. If this were not a cycling murder mystery, I couldn’t be sure if I would recommend it. However, it is, and I do. Find it at your local library (possibly), local bookshop, or buy online at http://www.velopress.com/.
