This review is from: McDowell's Ghost (Hardcover)

Somebody out there please read and review this book so I can get another opinion. It is not even good enough for Kirkus to review. I'm not even sure I can review it good enough to make sense. Dan McDowell is a furniture salesman and owner of a furniture company and is making his way to his hometown of Centerville where his Father and Sister have a furniture establishment, I think. He encounters all kinds of strange people in his travels who are described in great detail in this book but add nothing to the overall plot. He loves Margaret, a black singer in Atlanta, encounters her female lover Peg with whom he has a sexual encounter. Overriding everything is the strange story of Enoch, his something grandfather who murdered 7 men who had raped his wife and her sister. Margaret gets raped toward the end of this story and Dan has no choice but to reapeat the history of his grandfather. If Mr. Cady reads this, please set me straight on what this story is about. I'm sure you are a wonderful author. Thanks.
