Robert P Maroney

Debut novel; stiff writing populated with cookie cutter characters (along with the requisite cookie cutter dialogue). The pacing is good, the plot is fine, but...there's a reliance on racist and sexist stereotypes, which is uncomfortable and distasteful. Also populated with characters who can't seem to get enough of using 'pussy/pussies' as an insult. Always lovely to encounter a writer who is too lazy to come up with something creative and non-sexist.
