Title: Snobby and Stereotypical
Product review: This novel, like many of Palmer's novels is a page-turner, but he ruins a good story with his (1) snobby characters ("it's Doctor Solari;" a doctor character tells another doctor character that the police will have to believe two medical degreed people; professional characters are attractive, "non-degreed" characters are fat, have ferret features, etc), (2) stereotyping (security guards are always brutes or dolts or neanderthals; waitresses are always overweight and chew gum; his good guys don't have flaws; his bad guys are ridiculously evil and overly dramatic) and (3) terrible dialogue (way too predictable). So despite a good story, like his previous novels, the shortcomings noted above take his novels down a couple of pegs for me. And he's done this in the last several novels. I gave him one last chance, but I'm done with him now.
