Re: [HDNA #7] - War Against the Mafia (The Executioner Book 1) by Don Pendleton
I just finished chapter "How The Prostitute Business Works Exposition Dump".
I have a problem with this. A big one.
So Mack is a guy no one knows. They do know, however, that his dad was loaned money by them AND he was picked up by the po-po like two days ago. Now, if Leo was smart, he might have put two and two together and figured out Mack's sister worked for him as a sex worker.
But, giving benefit of the doubt, even if he didn't, he just spent 30 minutes breaking down every single aspect of his illegal prostitution ring.
What the fuck?
Worst. Mob. Boss. Ever.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

That's like every chapter I've read so far.
One of these things happens in a chapter and it's the only thing that can happen in a chapter:
1. Someone's entire plan is laid out exactly for expository purposes.
2. Mack thinks about something.
3. Mack has sex.
4. Mack attacks the Matthews.
5. Mack talks to Weatherbee.

Oh Jesus. Look at Jughead's expression. He's disgusted, but he's enjoying it.

He didn't plan for that to happen but he might as well enjoy the ride.Alien Redrum wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:30 pm Oh Jesus. Look at Jughead's expression. He's disgusted, but he's enjoying it.
Betty and Veronica are totally a couple of bedspring tigers.

Oh, no. Not at all! The past two days at work have been busy. I usually try to read at lunch, but I couldn't the past few days. I'm back on it tonight/tomorrow!

Maybe if you spent less time on Twitter you would have more time to do this.

Agreed on all, especially Mr. Weatherbee.
I didn't even read this spoiler until today. I'm glad I'm not the only one picturing this tough-guy cop as Archie's principal.
Reggie once said Weatherbee is no prince and no pal.

Right!?! I was reading that and thinking, How the fuck is she supposed to remember all of that?
THEN, after that dumb message, he comes back like Columbo with one more thing and proceeds to leave ANOTHER message.
One thing I like is...fuck, I don't know what chapter it is, but it's not a spoiler. At one point after he fucks some shit up, he gets in his car and his hands are shaking. I loved that. Dude can get scared.

Mark's hands would never shake, and if they did, his Indian Medicine Man would offer a calming shoulder rub.

I DID get to that chapter with the title you knew I'd hate. WTF.

Re: [HDNA #7] - War Against the Mafia (The Executioner Book 1) by Don Pendleton
Since you're reading again I am too. Don't freak out about numbers, as you've undoubtedly learned by now, each chapter is basically a single scene, this book is super short.
These are all about 180-200 pages, and I'm wondering if the average time to read them corresponds with average flights or train trips? It seems like a lot of quick genre books like these (I'm going cross genre and including Harlequins) are about that size. I'm just curious because these types of books seem to be the type that you buy, then you leave behind after you've read it so someone else can find it and read it. I imagine up until the early 2000's that was more common than it is now.

I've read up to Book 3. Not going to read anymore until you catch up.
Poor Mack, is all I can say. He doesn't make the best decisions so it's lucky the matthews are stupider than he is. I can only hope everything works out for him at this point.
