Mask Market

by Andrew Vachss

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Burke tracks down a woman whom he rescued years earlier and returned to her parents.

I’ve been a fan of the Burke books for some time now, but I was a bit disappointed in this book. I didn’t have a hard time finishing it, but once I was done, I realized that nothing much really happened. The plot is kind of lame, and all of the regular characters seem one-dimensional. Yes, Burke is still upset over the loss of his dog. Michelle used to be a man. Clarence is a young guy in need of instruction from the Prof. Blah, blah, blah. It’s about time for them all to move forward and develop more nuanced personalities.
