A review by nigelbrown
The Double by George Pelecanos
2.0
Misogynistic macho BS. A novel that shoves the writers religiosity down the readers throats while treating them like idiots.
“Tanya Nikolic was tall and on the cusp of thirty, a black haired beauty descended from Eastern European stock.” Really someone called Nikolic from Eastern Europe. Wow! So astute, I’d never have been able to work that out on my own. *sigh*
I don’t remember Pelecanos being this bad.
On the bright side, it is action packed and fast paced, so if you’re into that…
Uhuhm.
