#2 Pepper Keane. I enjoyed this more than the first. The love interest loses steam in this one, but the story is stronger. Motorcycle gang members, skinheads, dogs – all made for good reading. The biggest drawback was the way Cohen had Keane sort of stepping aside to speak directly to the reader to explain the past. It worked as well as it did only because the entire book is written in the first-person. Keane’s character is well developed; others in the book less so.
It was a pretty good book. It was hard to put down. I red it in less than one day, because of that. I especially like the fact that he wrapped all the sub-plots up and the end of the book. I always hate it when you are left hanging on parts of the book and only the main point of the book is wrapped up. If you like an adventurous mystery, this is a good book for you.
This is a fun read but with a good intellectual bent so the language is as much a treat as the story. I especially liked the take on interracial harmony - as in, harmonize, or else! :)
This was a fun read as the setting is Nederland/Boulder Colorado, and the characters and action keep things rolling! (I loved living there.)
