Dan Cooper sets up
lighting rigging for movie sets. He travels quite a bit, so he gets to sleep
around on his wife. A lot. He doesn’t even feel bad about it. Until one day his
wife shows up in his hotel bathtub, 70 miles from their home. Oh, and she’s
deader than a doornail. All signs point to Dan as her murderer, so he panics,
packs up, and flees the scene. The hotel receptionist that he’s been banging
this trip goes with him. What a weirdo. Anyway, they flee England for France
then Switzerland. Blah, blah, blah.
This story is awful. No,
really. Dan spends the ENTIRE book whining about how his wife is dead and
someone is framing him. Because he may be a shitty husband but he doesn’t
deserve to be framed for murder. And who is framing him? Well, let’s run
hundreds of miles and several countries away, so we can figure that out, shall
we? Omg. No. Stop. I should have just tossed in the towel on this one. But I
was genuinely curious as to who framed this stupid fucking whiny cheating
asshole. Whatever. It was not worth the aggravation of listening to Dan.
Interspersed with Whiny Dan in present tense there’s Young Dan in past tense
describing how he grew up. That was a much better story by far than the current
day one, even as fucked up as Dan’s childhood was. In any case, I recommend
this book to no one except the people I don’t like. There are much better
mystery/thrillers out there and I’m moving on to find them.
