A rugged-looking specimen stares at me from the front cover. The sight of him tugs my heart and I at once want to meet him. His name is Addison Mizner Flagler Titus Broward Gomez MacGregor. An Irish American Indian Portuguese Italian African American crossbreed of pale blue eyes. A badass you’d love to know depending on which side you’re bagging for. You don’t want to cross this guy because “once he gets his teeth into something” he never lets up. Perhaps a lot of figure 8 hotties would love his teeth to get into them. I am not a figure 8 hottie but I would love, Stop! Trust me, you don’t want to cross this guy. He is dogged as hell when it comes to payback.
Action, action, action. MacGregor: A Novel tosses one right into it, 153 pages of uncontrollable adrenalin. From half-brained, trigger-jolly Latinas to carefree girls in the untamed world of South Florida. Beautiful dialogue, how dry! Background effect: awesome. I’d love to be an “extra” in Allan George Cole’s plot. Every nuance packs punch, adds to the sequence, does not meander from the plot. But the subject matter is sensitive: horrendous crime against little children.
Soaring shards of glass, arching beads of blood, necklacing bullets in the air, a hail of automatics gone wild: assassins all around, even some with arachnophobia. No place is safe. MacGregor is not a novel that compels one to make stab at enjoyment because some poor gob has poured his soul into it. MacGregor: A Novel is sharp, witty, strong, hilarious, fresh, engaging.
Words fly, action sprints, bullets spring from door to door, leaping with you out the window into a different kind of Armageddon.
Eugen: cork it. Let the book speak for itself.
