Frank Mango is a pig, lots of fictional detectives are also pigs, but somehow a good writer can make you like these characters. I enjoy reading the Harry McGlade stories ( Kilborn character ). I do not ever want to hear from Mango again. As he is being introduced , the writer decided that it would be a good idea to describe a bizarre sex scene. These scenes are fine with me, they can be quite important to the storyline. But it seemed like this writer just wanted to let us know that his character is such an amazing dude, despite his obesity and laziness,that he can get his less attractive girlfriend to service him while he is on the phone with a hot chick. The girlfriend thinks that this is a fabulous idea. There are many other descriptions of Mango imagining himself in sexual situations. I get the idea of character development, but this only made me think that the writer doesn't have a high opinion of women. I am in no way shape or form a feminist, but that is what went through my mind when I read it. I did finish this book, but it didn't get a lot better.
