Title: Fun characters, ingenious plotting
Product review: I don't read a lot of crime books, but a friend dropped Sleep With The Fishes on me, guaranteed I'd have a hoot, and I did. Each character is so full of quirks and yet so real. Everyone has a seamy side, but also humanity. The main characters of retired gangster Sid Bifulco and grieving widower Russ Smonig are the stuff series are made of--and I hope that turns out to be the case here. By the mid-point of Sleep With The Fishes, every page brings astonishment as seemingly unrelated elements from earlier on, snap into bizarre but exciting relationships. In this world, no deed good or bad, and no thought perverse or otherwise, go unconnected. A really fun read--I'm giving lots as presents to crime readers and layfolks.
