Clint Eastwood has a colorful expression for the succession of unfortunate events and the wretched characters embroiled in the tragedy about to unfold in Here Comes the Night by Linda McDonald, but it is not one to share in polite company. Buck Dearmore has a powerful motive in the plot against his boss, Gordon Wesner. Buck was a jock whose former days of football glory are well behind him leaving him empty and unfulfilled in a dead end job until he meets and becomes involved with Mrs. Wesner. Angie and Gordon were not exactly the perfect couple, but Gordon was loaded and Angie's motives therefore differed slightly from Buck's but both agreed on a common solution. Waitress Erika of the O.K. Corral Café across the street from the bank was a sweet young thang attracted to bad boy Tony Bonner. The attraction was beginning to wane and would have found the swan song had it not been tied into events instigated by Buck and his regrettable side hobby whose cohorts lacked any sense of humor about Buck's late payment. Tony took his bad boy image rather seriously and a little too far with Buck's Mustang, using a whole herd of horses to plow into a lone horse and rider. Not cool! Buck's plot begins to unravel, Tony and Erika begin to unravel, and Edgars and Horse, detectives, were beginning to knit all the pieces back together. Rather profane at times, definitely a little rougher around the edges than I've read lately, but still a lively and imaginative romp into "the other side". I did NOT see this one coming and that was the fun……recommended read! Thank you BookBub for another winner!
