Reviews

[Nicholas George · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not many writers can pull off over-the-top comedic mysteries where every character is a "character" with a cutesy nickname, reeling off clever one-liners at the drop of a hat. Carl Hiassen is a master at this, and then there's...who? Well, whoever else can do it, the author of this mess sure ain't one of them. The incredibly convoluted plot centers on Raven, a deputy constable in a Fort Worth, Texas community, and her ex-lover, who's in charge of the precinct, Jinx Porter. Straining for absurdity, the plot and endless stream of "wacky" characters lumber forth, enough to test any reader's patience. I made it to the end and should be given a medal.
