The Chuckling Whatsit by Richard Sala
4.0
This has all the Sala hallmarks, a secret society, assassins, serial killers, beautiful women, and people getting shot in the face. It wasn't as creepy and weird as some of his other stories, but it wasn't boring either.
At first you are overwhelmed by characters that seem random and unconnected but Sala pulls the story tighter and tighter the deeper you get. He constructs a nice morbid mystery, even if it feels a little convoluted at times.
