I was enthralled with Elizabeth Llewellyn's first offering, Suicide Ride: The Platinum Man. I didn't think it could get any better.I was wrong.From the beginning of Suicide Ride: The Fix, the reader is treated to the emotional turmoil of a man who knows what he wants and knows he can't have it - at that moment anyway. We're allowed inside Norman Dimond's head, and what a head it is. Norman's desire short circuits his common sense at every turn, and we see the beautiful culmination and subsequent ruination it creates through the eyes of a superb storyteller. I can smell their sweat, hear their groans, and feel their frustration with the turn of every page. And when the book concludes and the devastation is complete, all I can say it . . .Write, Llewellyn. I know the next book is coming, and I'm hungry for it now. (Seems I've been spending too much time around Norman, huh?). If you don't mind being sent to the pinnacle, thrown to the bottom, slung around the bar, and cuddled by a grizzly, jump on Suicide Ride: The Fix and get your read on. You won't be disappointed unless you read on a third-grade level. And then you should just ask Mr. Webster to come to sit beside you and hold your hand. This ain't for kiddies, folks. It's grown-up stuff.
