The Fury by Jason Pinter
2.0
2020 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge-a book with a character in their 20s.
This book was ridiculous. There were bunches of continuity errors. Such as the main character got out of the shower, there were no towels so he put on a pair of boxers fell asleep, was awakened by the phone, jumpted out of bed and his towel fell off so he was naked. Then, he kept talking about how he left home 10 years ago, then it was 8, then it was 10, then it was 8 again. He read an old interview of a murder victim. He said that he had a son who was going to be 15 next month. The next page he's trying to track down this son and hopes he remembers something about his father's murder as he was 8 when it happened.
Then there was stuff that didn't make any sense. The murder happened in NY. The main suspect lives in Oregon. He was extradited back to New York. Then he was sitting in jail for like a week waiting to be indicted. What?
They acted like chocolate covered strawberries were not a perishable item.
He had to go through a whole bunch of shenanigans to pick his girlfriend up from a club which were totally not necessary.
I could go on and on. The story itself wasn't bad, but the nonsensicalness of all the details killed it.
It ended on a semi-cliffhanger. Luckily for me, I don't really care. I doubt I'll ever read this author again. Apparently editors and proofreaders are a thing of the past.
