I’ve encountered this stylistic quirk in the procedurals of Bill James, but James uses it to savagely humorous effect, whereas I was finding The Broken Shore anything but humorous. The characters spoke in clipped fragments. Temple’s style seemed deliberately elliptical there were times when I wasn’t sure what he was talking about.
