Christine Temetri is a newspaper reporter with the dubious job of travelling the country to write articles on various doomsday cults. Her life is turned upside-down when a demon breaks into her condo and fixes himself a fried cheese sandwich. Suddenly she finds herself in the company of Mercury, a freethinking angel with a penchant for card tricks, and the antichrist, otherwise known as Karl. Now they must find a way to stop the the end of the world, with the help of a few minor miracles, a string of highly unlikely coincidences and the four attaché cases of the apocalypse.
Mercury Falls is full of funny one liners, twist and turns, without it drowning out the plot. Kroese’s writing style resembles that of Douglas Adams, but personally I find the characters of Mercury Falls more interesting and likable then those in Hitchhikers' guide. The plot is unpredictable, none of that oh-I-know-what’s-going-to-happen-next nonsense. All in all, a highly recommendable book.
