Iris Johansen did this better with her side kick character in The Wind Dancer. The reader sees through his dialogue and actions how he's a great guy and it's revealed slowly, subtly. She never explains it to the reader. I'm missing this style of writing. This author isn't giving me the chance to read through the lines

“I was here with Buonaparte when he bought it last year.”
Bently stared across the table. “Sartene owns this place?”
Benito nodded again. “He owns the whole building. You might say he’s your landlord.”
Bently laughed. “We’re a great intelligence agency. I was told some Paris consortium owned it.”
“Buonaparte does business under many names,” Benito said. “The only name he never uses is his own.”

He laughed softly, then leaned to her and kissed her forehead, allowing his hand to run gently along her cheek. “The time will pass,” he whispered. “Then there will be many years together.”

“Yes, but she’s not strong. A strong man needs a strong woman. Only weak men need the other kind, so they can have someone to dominate.”
“What would you know about it?” she said. “You married the first peasant girl you saw in the mountains.” There was a slight smile on her face. “A little movement here, a little movement there, and you were like some poor goat, being led to slaughter.”

Right now, we’re like the ten-year-old boy who picks up the gun and seeks vengeance for his father’s death. What he does is right. But if he waits until he is grown, remembering all the time what he must do, then his vengeance is more certain

What he doesn’t know is how much money we’re making. We still live poorly and he thinks we’re peasants. He has no idea we save this money for our future.

I spoke to this man, François Spirito, who works for Carbone. He’s agreed that you can each work in his group.

If you’re men, you must work the rest of your lives for them, not for yourselves. Mémé, when you marry, it will be the same, and you should start to plan for that now.”

“We didn’t get rich, but we didn’t live under the heel of anybody’s boot. But things are different now. The days of the bandit are gone. Now everything is done by bigger and bigger organizations, like this one Paul Carbone has here.
