Carlucci's Heart by Richard Paul Russo

Carlucci's Heart by Richard Paul Russo
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is a pandemic book hiding in a cop thriller. The plot is unlikely as the others in the series. It also meanders for pages and pages. There was never a payoff in this series.

I liked this one much better than the first one in the series, Destroying Angel. The characters were interesting and a bit more developed than in the first, though not much. The scary scenes were thankfully not so scary nor frequent.

The whole Mixer story was ridiculous. I blame him for Suki’s life choices in the first book, so I didn’t have the most sympathy for him. But still, what happens to him and how he reacts is absurd. Also, why didn’t Carlucci arrest Saint Catherine, Saint Lucy, and the entire cult?

It was all very silly but kind of fun.

Perhaps I am the wrong audience for this book as I don’t particularly enjoy horror-thrillers, but even more than being the wrong audience I thought the almost-ending was bad. It’s a trilogy though so I am a bit tempted to continue since I’ve already invested this much.
