SANTA FE EDGE by Stuart Woods ***

There are a lot of people involved. Most of them are all fucking each other or strangers they meet during their various travels. It's not romance, it's more gratuitous fucking. So between all the fucking is a murderess running around loose after she escapes a Mexican prison. Her husband Ed Eagle put her there but Barbara has other ideas. There have been past murders (of just about everyone she's met) and she runs around from one fucking relationship to another trying to have Eagle killed. Eventually; even with his 2 non-body guards he gets shot. At the end of the book, one of the bitch's dead husbands has his will changed in her favor, she gets billions of bucks. Eagle decides to go after her and there's the end of the book. But not before the evil murderess marries a man she met in one day. LOL Must be love.

Most of the people have simple personalities and similar ones at that. They are sometimes hard to tell apart. There's no satisfaction in any of the little vignettes because no one ever gets killed who deserves it, no one catches anyone else and no one goes to jail, no one is punished for any illegal activities and all are rewarded with airplanes, Bentleys, mucho fucking, sucking and other bodily -ings. I wasn't crazy about it but it wasn't a difficult read. I could do without another Woods book.
