A Small Town: A Novel of Crime by Thomas Perry
4.0
Perry loves intricate details. E.g., in this book he lovingly describes the security protections in a federal prison and how they are dealt with by the escaping prisoners. This is just one of the many illustrations he draws of the inner working of widely diverging systems from pistols to gravity irrigation.
The story set up is fairly simple and the resolution verges, I'm afraid, on revenge porn, but at least the bad guys are not made to suffer like the unfortunate ones in other authors (are you listening Lee Child?). Perry's writing style is transparent and keeps the action moving and unpredictable.
This is a good one to take up a couple of days on lock down.
