BLUE MARBLE. In a by-the-numbers murder mystery, she sure
created a set of cold-blooded nasty antagonists in the
Montefierrow twins. With their "trick" canes and spiked
cigarettes, they stand out. I'm not sure if the novel is hb,
but these villians are evil with a capital E.
************ I understand there's an element of science
fiction in the book. Is that correct? I also heard that the
book is a bit surrealistic. That would be a big change from
RIDE THE PINK HORSE, which was straight clean fiction.
Did you like the book?
And I can understand your comment: "villians are evil with a
capital E." The PINK HORSE had some very wicked flash- backs
into Sailor's childhood. Reminiscent of Faulkner or Derek
Raymond.
