Let’s not lie; we all love a good one but some days we’re looking for something just that little bit… different. And, if different’s what you’re looking for, then you’ve come to the right place.
Poor Allen is overworked. Building a successful firm, he’s clawed himself from the hood into a fancy new suit, cosy uptown house and car. Well, with the help of his wife’s money, of course, but that’s beside the point. One might be hasty in thinking Allen’s using his wife and he is, because it’s one of the things Allen does best, we witness throughout the story. But, he loves her, always has and so they’re going through some domestic difficulties right now – notably the fact that he just followed his wife up to a secluded hiking trail and killed a man who tried to rape her, while she waited for her more-than-likely lover – but, so what? They got through their domestic difficulties all these years and they’ll get through it this time.
What’s this you say? The dead man’s brother insists on filling his shoes, every Tuesday night, not least of all his wife’s bed! Not if he has anything to say about it. Except, he has less say than he’d like.
Under the threat of informing the police of his crime, Allen is left to devising a way to get rid of the man, without losing everything he’s worked so hard to achieve. The problem? The damned truck driver is always one step ahead of them! Just who is this man and why exactly is he so fixated on his wife?!
But, as I was saying, Allen has solved issues with difficult clients, before. How different could this be?
The author of the series, Mike Wells, is renowned for writing un-put-down-ables and I’ll attest to this being another of his successes. I’ve never read anything like it and, with my reading apps alone logging more than several years, that’s saying something.
I devoured the books, one after another. I just had to know how the story would play out because, for once, I was absolutely clueless and I have to say that the suspense reigned until the very end, which did – by no means – disappoint.
The best way I can describe the events is ‘absurd’ but ‘in the best of ways’ and you don’t hear those two phrases coupled together very often.
