Review: My last Murcer book
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 05 3, 2013
Murcer has to reinvent himself.  It took me three weeks to trudge through this one, I stuck in there mostly out of loyalty to his prior work.Compare that to "Inside Out" by Eisler which I just got and cannot put down.This Manny Williams stuff is getting stale.  First there are just too many characters yo keep track of.  Between the squadron of FBI guys associated with WiIliams, the local cops, the US marshals' crew, the villain and his associates, Manny's love life and family, I had lost interest in the plot.Have you ever read clean, central character, good action thrillers like Eisler's John Rain, or Child's Mitch Rapp?  they don't carry along a squadron of characters that you are supposed to keep track of and interest in from episode to episode.  They are good stand alone action figures with plots that finish in each story, not an ongoing soap opera.I guess if you like a series that carries along all that baggage from episode to episode, continue to like this series. As for me,  I'll move on.Addendum:Just finished "Inside Out" and it ran out of steam and unfortunately turned into a political  rout at the end.  So Eisler is now on my B list as well.
