The 24th LETTER by Tom Lowe ***

I really abhor books with a cast of thousands. 300 something pages with as many names first/last etc. Not happy. Some guy is reading, nodding off and then "headed for the salon door, the dog followed to the cockpit. She licked his face blahblah and climbed the ladderlike steps to the flybridge. He unzipped the isinglass window." Is this all in English?? I don't know. Lots of crap like that in here.

Not impressed. Some murderer wrongly convicted will be put to death in like 60 hours unless the case is solved by the original cop who fucked it up the first time- yeah right. Meanwhile a lot of other people are dying in the process and seems no one gives a shit but the entire book is for one innocent on death row? Where's the cops? Where's the investigation? Don't know. Chasing the excop who really isn't very smart. Dead priest leaves a mysterious bloody message. Not 'FRED DID IT'. Of COURSE NOT!! 

Topics: Drugs, mafia, Boxing. 

Losing total respect for the writer. The stupid priest bloody message took 300 pages to figure out but how did the guy know it referred to a handwritten paper left in a bible? It never said anything about a bible- so if he's going to be psychic he could have checked the bible immediately following the priests murder. That's one thing pissing me off now the next:

The killer is headed for the same place as O'Brien (lead character). BUT the killer has no idea where the evidence that would convict him is hidden so why go there? It's a dark and rainy night! O'Brien knows the killer is hiding around the area someplace absolutely clueless about where the evidence is...while the killer is hiding nearby (since he has access to police info) the moron cop is going to dig up the evidence and...o no the killer is going to see him! He will kill O'Brien....o no hahahahaa. IDIOT WRITER. Why why why does crap get published.
