Another fast moving thriller from Alex Abella where he again displays his unique ability to mingle reality with the supernatural. The reader is never quite sure until the very end. Mr. Abella also exhibits rare expertise in the social culture of his native Cuba and the innerworkings of the Los Angeles criminal justice system.

Disappointing end to Morrell trilogy
"Final Acts" tries to recapture the magic of the two books that preceeded it, especially "Killing of the Saints", but it fails in this regard.

This review is from: Final Acts: A Novel (Hardcover)
"Final Acts" tries to recapture the magic of the two books that preceeded it, especially "Killing of the Saints", but it fails in this regard. Charlie's voice in this looks like a novelization of what he had experienced while on the lam for a series of murders that he didn't commit. There's hints of a large shadow conspiracy, which tend to be a part of bad or meriocre novels. Most of the story is told by Charlie Morrell's lawyer, Rita Carr. She's an ok narrator, but nothing great. All in all, doesn't live up to the first two, but Charlie's riff on the Beatles song with "Once there was a way..." is brilliant, and the lone good part.
