What Did I Think?
As you can see from the rating...not much. I'm not a prude and I have certainly read more than my share of crime novels that was full of dirty language and over the top sex... but this was even too much me. One of the big draw-backs was that it's hard to get behind a book when you completely dislike the main character...or for that matter, all of the characters in the story. In the end I was left with actual disgust for Agent Pender and the great majority of the other characters. It didn't come across for me as a thriller but just a very sad commentary on life...the inadequacies of the justice system and the breakdown of the family structure. If this was what Mr. Nasaw indented to do then he succeeded admirably. The 2 Star rating was more than generous.
