Completed: 31 January 2010
Summary & Review:
A man's missing wife contacts him and tells him that only Repairman Jack can help her, so he finds and enlists Jack to locate her. By following the woman's passion for conspiracies as a possible clue, Jack delves deep into the world of paranoia and discovers that not all conspiracies are myths.
I was a little disappointed by this book. I have read several of the Repairman Jack series and I definitely see Jack as one of my favorite protagonists in the Thriller genre. But, although Jack was the usual intriguing mix of humor, action, and humanity, Wilson's writing was found wanting. The story was a good one, even one of the better premises in the series that I've read so far, but it was poorly handled by Wilson's prose. It almost felt as though the whole book was rushed. To be fair, however, a bad Repairman Jack book is still better than most contemporary thrillers.
Rating: 7.0
