The Reckoning on Cane Hill by Steve Mosby

 

This is a thoroughly stupid book, there's no way to sustain suspension of disbelief more than about halfway--once the omnicompetent bordering on omnipotent band of serial killers make their appearance it borders on laughable--but outside of that it's not horribly written on the prose level, nor is it exactly badly paced. The stupid twist about three quarters in, where it turns out it's not just multiple POV but multiple timeline, happens late enough that by that point you just might as well finish the daft thing. There's some sense of the characters being vaguely not all the same person, but that's at best kinda muddled. It's not a very good book, not anything like as good as last night's book, though it's more to my taste, genre-wise.
