A pretty good story after a slow start. It has two POVs that are strictly separate for the first half of the book.
Joe is well drawn; he feels authentic but a bit dull for a long while. Edie begins odd and through flashbacks becomes interesting–but also over the top. Eventually Joe goes over the top (of course someone who was peripherally involved in crime as a kid and hasn’t done anything with it in 10+ years proves to be a great criminal now, cold).
The book felt slow to start–not with events, but with bloated prose and stylistic observations of everything. At 25% slimmer, or a quicker pivot into the action and criminal underworld, it’d have been a book that I’d recommend. As it is, I don’t mind having read it, but probably won’t read it again.
