Book Reviews of Santa Fe Dead (Ed Eagle Novel)
Book Review: Light entertainment, very light entertainment
Summary: 3 Stars
Barbara Eagle (exwife of lawyer Ed Eagle) on trial for murder, escapes while the jury is deliberating, but is found not guilty. Apparently independently, actress Susanna Wilde (Ed's girlfriend) shoots her ex-husband and movie producer Donald Wells (Ed's client) hires his stuntman Jack Cato to kill his (Donald's) rich wife and her child. Barbara marries billionaire Walter Keeler, who is killed in an auto accident. Joe Wylan (Walter's lawyer) alters Walter's will after learning from Ed that Barbara is a psychopath. Through her movie-producer boyfriend Jimmy Long, Barbara (now Keeler) hires Jack Cato to kill Susanna Wilde in revenge, but Susanna survives. That's the setup, albeit it takes up half of the novel. Convolutions continue to proliferate.
Confused yet? And those are only the major characters. Over a dozen supporting characters include numerous policemen and policewomen, private detectives, the district attorney, the various lawyers' partners/assistants, boyfriends, girlfriends, and many others. Perhaps a dozen other characters in back-stories are mentioned.
Unfortunately, this "cast of thousands" does not contain a single "human being" (to use terminology from a different Stuart Woods novel), that is, I found none of them sympathetic or appealing. Feel free to cheer for your choice of the bad guys--there is no chance of anyone you've grown fond of getting hurt. Sure, there are loose ends, but who cares?
The novel strictly light-weight, but very entertaining. A good book for those moments in life when you don't need any more stress---not even the stress of 3-hour emotional commitment to a fictional character.
