THE BIG EXIT by David Carnoy ***

For me there were too many characters, esp. for the length of the book, smallish. A long time ago someone fell asleep in a car, Richie-called by his first name, there was an accident and other people were hurt or killed or whatever. Then he gets out of jail, his old buddy, McGregor called by his last name, who was in the car with him, who he swears switched him from passenger to drivers seat is the one driving and got in the accident altho he did the jail time.

I really have no idea why McGregor wants to kill himself aside from not wanting to divorce his wife and give her some of his money, so anyways they find a body assuming that's who it is and the rest is crappy police work trying to figure out whether or not Richie killed McGregor or not to get even with spending time in jail. McGregor also married his old girlfriend.

There were lawyers, his help, cops up the yin yang, news reporters, company people and blahblahblah that didn't really interest me all that much. I really don't like an over population in my reading material, makes it hard to fall asleep and pick up again not knowing who is who all over again. Also not many of the people had distinct personalities except a couple, like Richie cuz he sang at night like Frank Sinatra, and maybe the ex girlfriend Beth. The rest were only names on paper to me.
