Oversleep Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Okay, so Brandon released the first two chapters of Snapshot online. I have read only them, so no spoilers for the book please. Does anyone else feel like the main characters (detectives) are just Wax and Wayne?

Jedal Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 They have a similar feel, but Davis feels less rigid. He's definitely Wax-ish, but he seems a little more corrupted, a little more willing to use a Snapshot for his own ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataLoreHD Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 At first, it seems so with all those mustard jokes. (Speaking of which, I confess I also try to persuade a coworker eating mustard from time to time, because that guy is too picky on food.) But with story moves forward, no, they're clearly not Wax and Wayne clones. These two protagonists have fatal moral flaws. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire straight man - jokster pairing of two cops is a trope that is significantly older than Wax and Wayne, anyway, and yes, Davis is cast in this trope as a straight man, while Chaz as a jokster. But without giving much away, let's just say that Brandon subverts this trope by the end of the book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
