Genre: krimi.
Verdict: [Yawn.]
I chose it for the location and there is plenty of that but I gave up at 48% on the Kindle-o-meter. So many back and sides stories, descriptions of clothes and furnishings to numb the interest. Reader, if you like that sort of thing, this is a book for you, but not me.
There is an all-enveloping corporate conspiracy with corrupt government officials to build a pipeline with would deliver cheap energy to thousands of people – those bastards! – but they – I suppose in the end – are no match for Joe Pickett, game warden extraordinaire.
The inclusion of small children is unusual and they are very well done and integrated into events. Full marks plus for that. But that is not sufficient to overcome the meandering flow of description.
I have become an impatient and merciless reader: if it doesn’t hold my interest, I stop.
