Why do I even bother polishing off the stragglers on my picaresque list? I have had Uwe Timm's Headhunter on my table only occasionally picking it up to read some more baffling, wandering and plot-less rants of the main character, whose name I cannot even recall. The premise sounded good -- a financial con man -- but I glean nothing from the almost 300 pages I read and how absolutely no curiosity to see what might happen. Nothing from the pages I read suggests it is moving towards any crisis or revelation.
Off to the library to pick up three more Stanberry mysteries.
