Title: good characterization, predictable plot
Review: I was very impressed by Richard Price's newest novel. Like in Clockers, Price has given readers an intricate portrait of people that few of us encounter, let alone think about, in our day-to-day lives. As a collection of character sketches, this book is amazing. The women of the Friends of Kent are particularly well-drawn. The problem is the plot is ridiculously predictable. Even if the summary on the back of the book didn't give it away, anyone familiar with suspense novels can figure out what's going to happen. The utter predictability of the plot distracts from the detailed character portraits that Price has created.
