DOUBLE PREY by Steven F. Havill **

Geez one kid of a family tips his ATV over and dies and it's pages and pages of following his boring ass trail to nowhere. Something about a skull, an old gun, a bullet. First the whatever an  'undersheriff' is goes out there herself, then with her boss (under him, under covers?), Gastner who demeans her by calling her sweetheart all the time, then she goes out again with a photographer, then the kids dad. BORING. Over and over and detailed repeat crap. Not only that but some secret information is supposed to be found in some old guys frickin 1916-36 diaries no one seems to have time to read, which coincidently will have pertinent info on this case. In actuality this had NOTHING to do with the story and went nowhere.

If I have to read about going on that trail one more time I'm going to vomit. As it is I'm going to skip over most of this chapter with daddy along cuz why do I want to revisit after being there 2x?? WHY? Extremely repetitive and tons of characters to memorize. Sheesh. Good sleeping material here. Also weird terminology, like Casey girl; Padrino, a father who calls his son, "you found the boy." The boy. Not Freddy or my son or whatever.

If you like wild west rambling dull characters who can bore the skin off a cat this is for you. Now idiot (dead happily) son was going out on this trail to shoot prarie dogs or DOG DOGS, not sure. Still reading and merrily skipping over pages and pages.
