The beginning is kind of rocky because there’s a lot of things going on, such as an FBI covert op and a mafia dealing. There are characters named Biggie and Jennifer, and I was trying to figure out who’s who. What’s a “goomah?”
There were definitely some unclear angles here. If Elsie was dead, then she wasn’t Mrs. Jones, right? Then why was her husband named Jones? I don’t get it. And the characters have more than one name, making it harder to keep track. So Ken Jones (Elsie’s husband and Elsie could be Mrs. Jones) was Biggie AND Generato? Huh? Wait a second…Even after re-reading the first few chapters, it doesn’t clarify who the characters are, much less what’s going on.
All in all, this was a solid effort at an espionage mystery novel and I wanted to give this a try, but I was just too lost.
My rating: 2 stars
