Title: Pablum about "life" dressed up as "meaningful," disappointing story line
Product review: Sometimes an author makes things more meaningful by what he leaves unwritten than what he writes. This is not James Sallis' style in this book, and is why I do not recommend it. His main character, Turner, waxes philosophical about the gray areas of life, and comes off annoying rather than sympathetic or interesting. The plot holds great promise, but in the end also comes across as weak and as unsatisfying as a bag of Cheetohs on an empty stomach. I was disappointed. If you like detective fiction or are an afficionado of noir, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
