I've spent the past few days thinking about how to write this review.I tend to be vague in my reviews, and I want to do this book justice.All I could think of was "righteous read."The Flaming Motel is a RIGHTEOUS READ.As other reviewers have noted, this was not my introduction to the literary work of Mr. Fingers Murphy. I read Follow the Money and LOVED it, so I dove into The Flaming Motel expecting to have just as much fun the second time around.Well I didn't. I had WAY more fun.Not only does Mr. Murphy write gripping, action-packed legal thrillers, he writes them POETICALLY. One line from early in the book comes to mind, and I'd like to share it. Don't worry about spoilers; the only thing this line will expose is his snarky way with words.A character was described as having a "diet rich in protein and cocaine."I literally laughed out loud!Buy this book. Read this book. You'll enjoy it!
