: One False Move
Author: Alex Kava
I like Kava’s novels, but this one took me forever to get through. Part of it was that our perspective is from the viewpoint of the killer’s sister, who’s helping him, and he’s such an unlikeable character I didn’t want to spend any time with him at all. He kills people right and left, he seems like an utter idiot, dying to get caught, and his motives are a mystery until the very end, and so are the sister’s; this made 90% of the novel an awkward and distasteful puzzle. It’s not a bad book, and it has some decent moments, but some of the decisions Kava made should have been rethought. I’d give it a C+ if I was grading it.
