A wonderful and incredibly rich novel . . . I wasn't able to put it down till I reached the end. I was absolutely captivated by the atmosphere, and the characters...

Mallory's Manly Methods
by Thomas Keech
Description
Kevin Mallory is so good at lying he has convinced himself he has almost an average life. He tries to use his exceptional skill at prevarication to hang onto his job without doing any work, win the love of his co-worker without recognizing who she really is, take advantage of the young Black man who moves in next door, and manipulate the police and the courts into accepting his warped idea of justice.

Love or hate the book, you will finish. Maybe slowly, maybe rushed. Sorry, it just did not seem like my cup of tea/or coffee. But, I have no real sense of what the heck I read after. Give it a go, I am far into mysteries, thrillers, and such. You may LOVE it.

I really wanted to love this book, however despite my very best efforts just couldn’t get it to work for me.

I think there was something there, however it just didn’t click with me 😥

Love it or hate it, this book will keep you reading and perhaps even make you think… I found the protagonist loathsome, but his adventures were compelling and the side bar text offering a cure observations on modern society was often spot on.
