"Hate City", by John W. Mefford

Booker, book #3

A revenge of fifty years in the making

Booker works two investigations in parallel: the murder of the CEO of a green energy company behind his million dollar estate and days later when thrust into the crossfire of a deadly sniper at the site of the JFK assassination.

Once again, Booker is dragged into seedy situations, slammed into obstacles that seem insurmountable.

This thriller juggles too many balls at once and points out another theory behind JFK assassination. For a large part things do not seem related and it takes way too long to come together although it does by the end, of course there is drama and suspense but much of it makes little sense. Weaving a historic tale of thrills and examining the justification of the unjustifiable is a hard task.

Am I getting bored with Booker or simply being too critical? I had a hard time getting into this book and remember what I was reading. The story was all over the place, too many characters and too long to come together. The pace is slow and keeps that way from start to finish. Some pages could have been omitted ex: a child’s soccer game very distracting...who cares and the JFK theory.... well one more.

Well maybe I am a fuddy-duddy sorry Mr. Mefford this story did not gel ...read and forgotten. I need a break from this series in order to enjoy the sequels later on.
