The Accomplice: A Novel di Joseph Kanon
A mix of mundane and interesting. Hated how he wrote the *one* woman character. Idea of justice was good. Protagonist occasionally had depth.
The NYT reviewer was speaking of me when he wrote "Some readers may find that Kanon’s thriller-ish style takes some getting used to, especially his telegrammatic dialogue reduced. To such. Staccato bursts that. It risks becoming. Unintelligible." However, I did like this story; it was fast paced and a quick read even though a bit confusing as I tried to figure out who worked for whom...but I guess that's par for the course with suspense fiction.
Entertaining and philosophical, paints a picture of what it might have been like then but the mystery part of it was a little disappointing. Leads seemed to come out of nowhere by chance rather than cleverly leading from one to the next.
