Rain Dogs by Sean Doolittle

4.0

Sean Doolittle writes intelligent thrillers with complex and very human protagonists. In [Rain Dogs], Tom Coleman, an ex-journalist mourning the death of both his daughter and his marriage, has inherited a small outdoor outfitters that includes a campground, rafts and kayaks, and an employee he doesn't really need. He's working hard to drink himself to death, but moving back within driving distance of his parents and an old girlfriend isn't making this easier. Nor is the explosion of an old cabin a few miles away that Tom suspects was meth-related, although the sheriff isn't handling it as such.

This was a fun, fast-paced book for a busy time of the year. It's not The Cleanup or Lake Country, but even at less than his best, Doolittle is worth reading.
