Phil in SF reviewed Countdown City by Ben H. Winters (The Last Policeman, #2)
The end of the world as they know it and no one is fine
4 stars
Henry Palace, former policeman, along with the rest of the world has like 77 days until an asteroid slams into Earth ending life as they know it.
There being a shortage of food, no monetary economy and not much to do except wait for the end of civilization, Palace agrees to take on a case finding the husband of someone he knows.
It's way more shit happens on the way to the apocalypse than detective fiction, where The Last Policeman was a good combination. A good the apocalypse is on us story, though there's a few too many characters to keep straight, and the plot is more complex than it should have been.
