John Edward's Reviews > The Devil's Share

Three stars for a fairly creative and complex plot. The problem is that the characters do not ring true. The novel reads like it was written by an author who has never met anyone in the criminal subculture. The gang of hold-up artists and Crissa, the leader of the group, talk and largely think like a bunch of young interns in a typical American corporation. Articulate, logical, trying to at least appear to be "team players." I might be able to handle a couple of these thrown in but the whole crew? Gimme a break.
