Negative Positive
Title: Nothing but stereotypes and clichés
Review: 290 pages of police thriller clichés.A family of cops.The cop is a killer.The good female cop is stuck in vice as a hooker, but she'll make homicide detectiveThe lame female cop is already detective.Neighboring police districts arguing over jurisdiction.Stereotypes: every serial killer had a trauma as a child, every traumatized child grows up to be a serial killer.Given that the author's bio states he's already working on a 2nd Dexter novel, I guess it's not too much of a plot spoiler to say that the ending sets us up for a sequel with most of the same characters.On the positive side, it's only 290 pages and there were so few words on each page, I thought I must have picked up the large print edition.For a book so filled with clichés, the only fitting end to a review is to say it's a shame so many trees had to die for this.
