Title: A never ending melodrama
Product review: Ever been trapped watching or reading something and you'd just wish it'd get it over with?The Hour Game was supposed to be a well thought out serial killer novel, according to the author. Instead what you have is someone murdering people one right after another, slowly widdling down the characters until you're left scratching your head because there's nobody left! The plot takes forever to develop and the characters seem like half-wits bent on either revenge, money, or hate.Our two main characters are supposedly the only smart people in this small virginia town, why, because EVERYONE else DIES!The plot and the various sub-plots would've been better if they had been highly restriced to a specific few cases. When all of your characters start dying it becomes pretty obvious half-way through who the real killer is. Baldacci should stick to what he knows: Washington D.C. and the power politics. Murder is just not his "game".
