Now I can stop being nice. This series stars a likable, pathetic, depressed, loner, loser of a man. After leaving the dump called Chicago he landed in Sarasota FL. He feels the town is just bad enough to match his slide to nothingness. He spends what change he finds on the sidewalk on a cheap shrink. She is nice and would be worth the price if she also slept with him. He spends his off hours riding a bicycle (cars cost money) and brooding about his dead wife. Wow!
Working as a friendly "process server" he finds himself in danger but refuses take proper precautions. The thought of a gun makes his girl parts hurt. He will rely on strong women and tough men to do what a Chicago boy can't do for himself. That's just the first half of the book. He may find his way and a spine but I can't be bothered to finish.
In my quest to find another good thriller writer I gave this author a try. He's not a thriller writer. He writes slow comfortable mysteries. His writing style is very good but his stories are portraits of mediocrity. Not what I'm looking for. ( )
