Review title: Snappy - but infantile
Product review: There's no doubt that the pace of this revenge story cracks along, and that the dialogue is smooth and snappy.Unfortunately there is no insight into the psychological effects of murder upon those who are asked to kill. In fact, there is one passage where the dehumanisation of those who are being picked off by the novel's hero is so pronounced, I wondered how he would retain my empathy.This book feeds into the dangerous attitude that addressing the ghosts of one's past demands the use of controlled and effective violence. This is a fantasy which of course lead to sequels for Hunter, but certainly no peace for his hero.I suspect Hunter's an extremely intelligent author and could easily display more insight; but would it bring him as much success?
