Crime Machine Review by Donna Carrick (Canada)
Fans of Blunt's Cardinal series have been waiting for John's return -- wondering, no doubt, what form it would take in the wake of "By The Time You Read This". Having been a fan of Giles Blunt's work since "40 Words", I was predisposed to enjoy "Crime Machine". I was not disappointed.
Story-telling is the key, and Blunt is the current master of Canadian story-telling. From the opening (with its ill-fated rendevouz) to the end, I was captive to the pages.
Blunt knows this country. He brings the vibrancy of the north to every page. You can feel your face burn with the cold and smell the snow melting on your eyelashes.
I loved Blunt's detour into stand-alones: "No Such Creature", and especially "Breaking Lorca", which I consider to be a truly great lit work. I must confess, though, I'm thrilled to see Cardinal back in action.

Crime Machine Review by Gary Wittenborn (New Braunfels, TX, US)
I enjoy Blunt's Cardinal books but I, like others, don't care for his "stand alone" books. Even though I haven't read "Crime Machine" yet, it gave me a good laugh. The laugh came when I looked at the price for the book in paperback. If it doesn't come out in a reasonably priced Kindle form, I simply won't buy it at all. Probably won't change my life.
Crime Machine Review by bongobear (Winston-Salem,NC)
I enjoyed the book even though I had it figured out pretty early on. It's nice to see Cardinal coming out of his shell and I hope Blunt writes more Cardinal books.

Crime Machine::Description
The long-awaited new instalment in the award-winning, bestselling John Cardinal mystery series.
A year after the death of his beloved and troubled wife, Catherine, John Cardinal has moved into a new, but very humid, condo. He has fallen into an easy routine of work on cold case files and platonic movie nights with friend and colleague Lise Delorme. The quiet of a snow-covered Algonquin Bay is shattered when the decapitated bodies of two people are found in a summer home on Trout Lake. The victims, visitors from Russia, are in Algonquin Bay attending the annual fur auction. This is by no means a routine murder investigation as Cardinal soon discovers, but a horrific piece of a very twisted puzzle. Blunt has, once again, given us a page-turning plot, a remarkable cast of characters and the comfort of John Cardinal at the helm.
From the Hardcover edition.
