Shovel Ready

3rd book for the #ProjectTBR Read-A-Thon.

This book was a very conflicting read for me. While I really enjoyed the conversation style of the writing, the lack of true dialogue was bothersome at times. This book follows Spademan who is a garbageman turned hit-man after a devastating dirty bomb attack on NYC. I really loved the description of just how destructive the attack was on the way of life. But it was also so strange to me that nothing was done to fix it.

This book focuses on Spademan's latest job to find and kill a famous evangelist's daughter Grace. However it is not that simple and Spademan is thrust into a world he doesn't fully understand.

For me this book was mediocre at best. I liked the premise and the hard-boil aspect of the character. But it was nothing special. I have the second book in this series for review and I have heard it is better than this one. So I'm looking forward to picking up the next book.
