Hawai‘i author Chris McKinney’s first entry in a brilliant new sci-fi noir trilogy explores the sordid past of a murdered scientist, deified in death, through the eyes of a man who once committed unspeakable crimes for her.
Year 2142: Earth is 30 years past a near-collision with the asteroid Sessho-seki. Akira Kimura, the scientist responsible for eliminating the threat, has reached heights of celebrity approaching deification. But now, Akira feels her safety is under threat, so after years without contact, she reaches out to her former head of security, who has since become a police detective.
When he arrives at her deep-sea home and finds Akira methodically dismembered, this detective will risk everything - his career, his family, even his own life - and delve back into his shared past with Akira to find her killer. With a rich, cinematic voice and burning cynicism, Midnight, Water City is both a thrilling neo-noir procedural and a stunning exploration of research, class, climate change, the cult of personality, and the dark sacrifices we are willing to make in the name of progress.

The narrator had the tone of maybe some kind of comedic John Dortmunder book and I guess I thought that was the wrong tone.
On the other hand a more serious tone would have really made this a more depressing story. It's a first person narrative. He seems to be very unlucky and is his worst own worst enemy in most cases.
Finally something different !!!

At times it was a little bit hard to tell what Time frame we were in,
The plot is somewhat simple, But the complexities of its execution are not.
Intelligent fiction!

Also the authors throws out Noir sounding lines that don’t really make sense in context to the action. Silly concepts, poor character development, motivations that don’t add up. I felt as though the plot was a square peg being forced through a round hole.
The villain carries a projector and MRI machine on her person so she can expose her master plan to the hero. And in case that wasn’t clear enough, she gives him her journal to answer every last question.
The main character is constantly going on tangents and expositions to explain the world he lives in. There is no trust that the reader is smart enough to pay attention and figure things out. This is the shining example of telling rather than showing.
As a fan of noir and cyberpunk, I get the sense the author has spent enough to mimic the sound of the genre but never understood it.
Worst book I’ve ever been able to finish (Spoilers)
