★★☆☆☆
Lather, rinse, repeat writing.
I've read almost every DR book written and I admit to having tired of the outdated formula writing. Who would refer to grown men as "Bobsey Twins from Homicide." Ridiculous. So much gratuitous violence for what purpose? Why keep dragging out Confederate soldiers, Vietnam, and now Nazi's? That and the constant foggy mist. Please! I am also tired of the nasty terms used to describe women and sex organs of both genders. "Flopper?"Get over it. So sophomoric. What makes the 2 main characters the moral conscience of everyone around them. I'm bored by the constant emphasis on alcohol and alcoholism. This doesn't play out well over 20+ novels. Maybe time to retire these old sad sacks. How about developing an ending that makes sense instead of shrouding everything in Coon ass mysticism. Last DR novel I pay for. Sorry.
