Pigeon-Blood Red by Ed Duncan
3.0
When I started this book last year I feel like I didn't appreciate it as much as I do now reading through it a second time. At only 250 pages it manages to pack a surprising punch.
We follow Evelyn, wife of an unfaithful gambling addict from the streets of Chicago to Honolulu. What was supposed to be her second honeymoon to try and fix things with her husband turned out to be way more than what she could have ever imagined.
Evelyn's husband Robert has gotten in deep with a loan shark named Litvak. In what he sees as an opportune moment he manages to steal a necklace that seems to have come with a hefty price tag to pay back his debts in a warped sense. He manages to put not only Evelyn in danger but Evelyn's old flame Paul as well as one of her closest friends.
I would recommend this book for people who like a book that's fast-paced with several likable characters (and a decently likable anti-hero) and a whole lot of mob-styled bloodshed. I couldn't keep track of how many bodies there were by the end of the book, and because I'm demented, I liked that. Lol!
