A review by sarcrawsh
Extreme Justice by William Bernhardt
2.0
A student gave this to me to read b/c she thought it was amazing. She lied.
The book was okay, if somewhat stilted (with hugely unnatural dialogue) until the end. Everything about the "suspense" at the end was completely illogical. Tyrone should never have survived, especially after he saved Ben's ass (again). Ben paid him back by running away, yelling over his shoulder that he'll get an ambulance. You're telling me Grady wouldn't have taken the necessary 30 seconds to shoot Tyrone before pursuing Ben? "Grady" is on his territory; he is bound to navigate it better than Kincaid.
Also, I knew it was "Grady" pretty much the moment he showed up on scene. Plus he's the only one who knew why the victims were "smiling." Hello, killer!!!
His motive was weak too. You expect me to believe this man gave up music, the thing he lived for, to become a roughneck and later a VP? And after he's comfortably pulled off this charade for 20-some years, remembers his grudge and goes on a killing spree with a little torture thrown in? Stupid.
I also can't believe Scat could so convincingly work with Earl without revealing his supposed burning hatred.
