THE WAY OF ALL FISH by Martha Grimes **

I read 230 pages of this. I think she thinks she's funny. The entire premise of the book is that some book agent  is trying to screw some writer of money saying he worked with her on the publication of one book and she says he didn't. The ENTIRE book is back and forth with idiots trying to help her. A bar gets shot up by some guy and broke a fish tank, a few people who saved a fish in water glasses decided to keep a fish or two. So the idiots (Candy & Karl-2 hit men?) are making up stories to scare off the publishing agent (L. Bass Hess). Like taking him for a ride and causing a tree to burn, an alligator to throw him into a boat, the other guy in the boat pretends he didn't see it and it was a set up anyway.

I hated the stupid pranks of these SUPPOSED KILLERS? I mean they are supposed to be killers and they save fish, try to get the agent out of town instead of killing him and do all sorts of stupid crap to keep them off the writer, Cindy Sella. No mystery. No murder. No interesting action. All bored me to death so much I had to skip pages that were repetitious or nonsensical B.S.

Good luck with this one. You're either a die hard fan or you'll hate it.
