A review by marco5599
A Welcome Grave by Michael Koryta

1.5

Far-fetched plotting with a central character whose unreasonable, verbally aggressive and uncooperative (part of his) attitude I did not like. Or understand. I mean, why would you constantly try to antagonize the law when they have pretty good reasons to consider you a suspect? You'd expect someone who used to be on the force himself (!) to handle these situations with some form of tact. Not this donkey. My first encounter with Lincoln Perry -I haven't read the previous parts- will be my last. As for Michael Koryta; same probably. The plot is out of control, almost right from the start, but what really rubbed me the wrong way is when he decides to come up with a kidnap. So obvious, so Hollywood, so lame. So not for me.
