The rape of the wife on page 35 really turned my stomach. And the other ’sex’ scenes are viciously violent as well. The man, the main character of this book, is just a terrible person. Definitely a Florida Man.

Oh, the plot. Reporter investigating a murder/suicide. He interviews the deceased’s husband on page 204 - of a 223 page book! Nothing happens. This 'lost novel' should have definitely staid lost.

Not one of Willeford's finest moments. This rambling book starts with a reporter exploring the case of a woman who commits suicide after killing her two children. But the reporter then meanders through a variety of scenes with a variety of people, and there is no real plot to speak of. If you're a Willeford fan, it takes quite a while before this book even sounds like him, but after he apparently gives up on the original story entirely, there are a few passages of opinions and observations that are pure Willeford after all. This certainly doesn't stoop to the depths of some of the crap Hard Case Crime has published, but it is a real disservice to the author if someone new to him avoids his other books after starting with this one.… (meer)

Fun to read, but not a serious crime/mystery novel .....

I almost think Willeford is poking fun at the genre in his books - still, you gotta' love Hoke!
