4.0 out of 5 stars
Almost really great
Mr. Boyle is a talented writer with a flair for detail. And in Jack McMorrow, he has created a character I care about and relate to. I appreciate the way the tension builds on a slow upward grade to a clash at the end in both this novel and in his first McMorrow effort, 'Deadline.' All the while, Boyle paints a vivid picture of New England that makes me long to live...

Iffy
At first the wisecracking is cute and often funny but somewhere in the middle of the book it starts to become annoying. The murder plot is not well thought out and kinda spills out towards the end because it has to go somewhere. Lacking.

I appreciate the way the tension builds on a slow upward grade to a clash at the end in both this novel and in his first McMorrow effort, 'Deadline.' All the while, Boyle paints a vivid picture of New England that makes me long to live there. Having concocted such a likable protagonist as McMorrow, however, Boyle tends to let him sit in rather the same fashion the owner of an expensive car keeps it off the road for fear of damaging it. Tightening up his plots and giving his characters a little more to do, would to my mind, make Mr. Boyle's fiction worthy of more 5 star, instead of 4 star reviews.
