The Executor [Paperback]

What an awful disappointment. Here's the plot in a nutshell, without giving away any spoilers (although it is hard to spoil something that is already rotten and a real stinker).

Some guy (whom we don't care about) goes back to some town he grew up in - which happens to have some major native Americans vs. non natives issues - similar to say the real life problems in Caledonia Ontario. He goes back there because his ex girlfriend has died and he is named... the executor... of her will or estate or whatever. He hasn't spoken to his dead girlfriend or seen her for like I dunno a dozen years. The guy plays detective to unravel a lame conspiracy involving two dimensional characters we don't care about and finds out who killed his ex and why he was asked to be executor. You find out the "hero" is a loser criminal himself who did things he regrets, and I guess you're supposed to feel sorry for him? He also cheats on his current girlfriend with a butch female Indian crime boss for... some reason... huh..

If you are into the new vertigo crime line, this book will leave you disappointed beyond belief. Unless you live on a reserve and might find this interesting - avoid this book. If you want something similar to this story but much better written pick up "Filthy Rich". So far the best entry into the vertigo crime line is "Dark entries" by far. The worst is "The Bronx kill" worst book probably ever written (worse than "the executor", if that's even possible). "Area 10" ain't bad.

Hope this review helped. I don't normally write reviews - but I didn't want people to waste money on this book or "the bronx kill" like I did.
