The Midnight Plan Of The Repo Man (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
An enjoyable read, with quirky characters and a fast-paced plot that gets faster as you go. The premise was clever, but more than that, it was well executed. The Alan Lottner character and the absurdity of his situation was enough to capture my interest in an otherwise mainstream story, but the back and forth between him and McCann was what really kept things going. The convoluted details of the central mystery get more and more tangled toward the end, with a number of unexpected twists and subplots, and it all leads up to a satisfying resolution. Amidst the various murders and serious back stories, the abundance of humor keeps the tone light. Polished writing and a well-crafted story, I'd give this a solid recommendation and maybe check out something else by Cameron. This book was so much fun to read! Our repo man lives in Kalkaska, Michigan; his 2nd job is bouncer in his sister's bar. Life is bad enough (including a painful encounter with Doris the attack goose, although her drunken owner thinks she's a duck), but then he starts hearing a voice in his head. A murdered man wants him to find his body and bring his killers to justice. Our hero, Ruddy McCann, is a very brave and decent man, which adds depth to the book. Highly recommended.
