Murder on the Grand(41)

Murder on the Grand
Christopher H Meehan

This is a small press book about based in Grand Rapids Michigan.. if you are familiar with the town you will recognize streets and landmarks.. and if you are not I wonder if he is too vague.. the books itself is poorly written.. WAY too detailed on everything that is going on.. a simple sentence may take several paragraphs by the time he tells you about every movement of the speaker, his feelings, the position of the sun etc.
The story is about a woman who is attached after being called to the home of a friend.. the friend is dead.. and her boyfriend is found (in pieces) soon after. This may or may not be related to a death that occurred shortly before.. and may tie into a girl who dies years before.. and all of it *might* be tied to Promise Keepers.. all the main characters are priests.. and you get the impression that every movement in Grand Rapids revolves around the church (that is church, not to be confused with God). An awful book with a thin plot that just doesn't hold up... I think the ending sums it all up when the author writes...
"Then the car, a red 1978 Escort, made my mind sway. But it couldn't be, I told myself as I went down the embankment. No Way"
The Ford Escort was not produced until 1981.
