A pretty quick ride, but there was a stutter in the beginning when two bodies are found and the innocent party doesn’t immediately call the cops. Why would you NOT call the cops if you found two bodies cut to pieces?

In this story it’s justified by saying the person who found them needed to let her friend know her parents had been murdered before calling the cops.

But then cops show up and she realizes that SHE’S going to be a suspect and that’s what makes the whole rest of the story happen.

That said, it was a fun, fast ride and it had the highest body count I’ve found so far (4), but they’re also explained away by the end so did they really count?

BOOK REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Gritty, authentic, and surreal. A vivid, unfiltered account of one soldier's experience in the Vietnam War. Fresh out of college and caught in the draft, Glazer tries out for special training on a whim, succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, and eventually winds up leading a Special Operations Team. Thrown into a world of madness, where for some the only escape is death, Glazer finds a way to survive, but he is not unscathed by the war. The stories are raw and graphic in describing dangerous missions as well as down time spent in a country where violence and chaos rule.
