I was not as enthralled by this book nearly as much as I wanted to be. It could be I just finished reading a 5-star book before starting this one. Or maybe because it was so dated. "Groovy" was used a lot. The cops were called "pigs". The young ladies were called "chicks".
After a couple of chapters, I decided that maybe I needed to take a closer look at the details about this book. Yes, it was dated ... first published in 1975. That kind of explains the language.
I received this one through NetGalley. I 'assumed' it was a new release. That will teach me!
Basically the story is one of an ex-con getting involved in a homicide as a witness. The deceased was found to be covered in saran wrap which was covering lots and lots of money .. all fake. The cops come across as good cop / bad cop. One snarls, one smiles.
All in all, it's not a bad book .. it just wasn't that interesting to me. Would be a fine book for someone who likes to read the older genre.
I gave it 2 stars.
