Five Ways to Disappear succeeds because Greenaway subordinates the internal personal and professional drama of the cops' relationships and never loses sight of the real human tragedy at the novel's core: the relationship between an aged arthritic social misfit and the great-grandson he hardly knows and didn't expect to love.

The gritty tone of Five Ways to Disappear is mitigated through humour, engaging subplots, and modulated characterization. R.M.
