Mystery/Thriller Spoof

Review: This was a lot of things piled into one novel (that I did not finish) and funny / interesting was not on the list. Although this could have been a fun romp on the shoulders of Ian Flemming, it seemed forced and bland with flat dialogue exchanges.

Speaking of dialogue, there is this weird setup for each character that starts with their name and a colon. No quotes for sentence stucture with normal dialogue. What this created was a stilted and abrupt delivery of the story line. Not my preference but others may like it.

This is a hard pass for me if ever there are planned sequels.
