Short squeeze by Chris Knopf
Lively protagonist. The story moved along at a good clip. The main character is well drawn but with some blank spaces. I am tempted to blame it on the author's gender. I never realized before that the Hamptons was cheek by jowl with strip mall towns.
We meet Arthur who has a seemingly perfect life and then the next thing he knows he’s hiding from the bad guy that blew his world away by shooting Arthur and his wife. Arthur slowly recovers but revenge is always in the forefront in his mind. This is a new feeling and want for Arthur and he puts it to the bullet that was dug from his brain…new thought but not entirely unwelcome and so Arthur begins to use his computer skills and some new friends to set in action a plan that may just finish the job that the shooter started…but does it really matter? He knows that he’s “Dead Anyway”. I thoroughly enjoyed the intricacies of the plot. It was witty and cleverly done and kept me guessing throughout yet the resolution of the storyline was weirdly believable. Not a heavy mystery but it was fun watching Arthur work.… (more)
This guy has such an odd way of narrative. It's bare bones, just the facts ma'm. But you never have to wait long to get to the dead body. In this one, his boss and friend's head is found in his bed and his body in his storage area. And now the killer(s) are coming after him.
This was a ridiculously improbable plot that was really a very entertaining read. There are two more in the series and they are now in my to read list.
