THE OBSESSIONS OF HARVEY USHER by David Putnam



 

This was a good tale but there was too much bouncing back and forth from the past to the present.  It was easy to get lost.  The fact that it was a good story was the only thing that kept me reading it.   Harvey is a poor soul pulled into the world of t thuggery and mayhem.

Stereotypical accountant, Harvey, discovers love, loses love, finds pain and humiliation, and searches for redemption.

Some entertaining characters move the story along.  Rita is a temptress, and Harvey’s wife, or is she?  Ester, Lisette, Eddie, Jackie the nose, assorted thugs, country club folks, and beautiful women are all sautéed in a sauce of treachery, abuse, and perfidy. 

I enjoyed the book.
