Title: All gore, no story
Product review: Messenger has a very thin plot. A messenger of Satan is seducing postal workers in a small Florida town, getting them to graphically murder as many people as they can before killing themselves. It isn't so much a plot as a device for the author to write one violent, gory scene after another, all leading nowhere. I think he must have gotten paid by the number of times he wrote the word blood, bloody, blood-soaked, blood-covered, etc.This is a bad novel. Violence and gore are no problem if they are integral to the story but here, they are the story and nothing else. The dialog is so over the top it makes you laugh, the characters have no depth and no one behaves or reacts the way a real person would. The author bio says Lee has 15 novels in print. I hope they all aren't as useless as this one.
