Well... where to start? 
 This was a strange, dark, and weird book and I am betting the author would love to hear it described that way. I believe that was probably one of his goals. But for me it was just ok. The characters were in no way lovable. On one hand we have Hank, who is a private investigator who is a degenerate gambler and an alcoholic and on the other we a soulless murdering heiress. 
 Then we have the monster... well I just don't know what to say about him. I think he was the most lovable one in the story. Although I did love the kleptomaniac secretary I could have liked it allot more I think with more of her, she was quite funny actually. 
 If there is another one of these I will give it a try because I think this author has great potential. But as it stands right now I think maybe his work is just not for me. But please do give it a try and let me know what you thought. I give it 2.5 stars.
