Title: Gives worthless trash a bad name
Review: This book gives worthless trash a bad name. I only finished it because I wanted to see if the simple-minded plot had a final twist as some sort of redemption, but it didn't. As a clue, the only mystery in the whole sorry mess is how the editor and publisher allowed the author to use two different names for the perpetrator. The characters are deeply unsympathetic caricatures, the local colour about St Paul is sub-tourist info (don't go in summer, it's hot) and the prose style is somewhere between made-for-TV movie script and computer generated text. The publishers should be ashamed of themselves. If you ever see a copy of this book anywhere, do the rest of the world a favour and chuck it in the nearest shredder.
