Amazon.co.uk Review
Frannie McCabe was an obnoxious juvenile delinquent in his teens, but has settled down into comfortable middle age in the small town of Crane's View as its chief of police. Like other Jonathan Carroll protagonists, the hero of The Wooden Sea is about to find himself caught up in uncanny goings-on. First a dog walks into his office and drops dead. More importantly, it will not stay buried, then a quarrelling couple simply disappear and then Frannie finds himself haunted by his younger more abrasive self, and by visions of the last day of his life, as an old man about to be knocked down by a motorbike in Vienna. What all this means, and what lessons Frannie is supposed to take from it all, are where the questions lie. Anyone who has read an earlier Carroll novel will know the sorts of thing that are liable to happen, the sorts of thing that they are likely to mean--but any reader of an earlier Carroll novel will almost certainly be buying any of his books they can get hold of, anyway. This is an inventive and moving fantasy by a writer who more or less defined dark fantasy as a critical term.--Roz Kaveney
