A+ #BookReview: The Cyclist by Tim Sullivan My Review: I fell hard for the first book in this series, The Dentist, so I’m ever so grateful to the publisher Atlantic Crime for bringing this series out in the US even if (and especially because at the same time) it’s been out in the author’s native UK for several years and is very popular there. I hope the same turns out to be true on this side of the pond, because, so far at least, the series is awesome - especially for mystery fans who love a detective with a unique perspective AND a thoroughgoing, intricate, well-executed, police procedural.
