pickI enjoyed learning about all the people who landed at a hostel in Venice Beach. They are all running from, or searching for, something. Even tho there are a lot of characters it's easy to keep track of everyone. There are a lot of deaths, past & present, in these people's lives & quite a few surprises; some of the little bombs Marrs sprinkled throughout the plot took me completely by surprise. The last few, in particular, I did not see coming!
A recent John Marrs for my Saturday reading 🤩
(Not much progress yet though due to migraine. Hoping it goes away soon 😣)
