The 8th Confession

Once again, Patterson/Paetro went on storyline overload. Why have one mystery when you can have two, right? Why have one side story when you can have three. Not they were hard to follow or keep track of. (Though I got rather bored with the Bagman Jesus story which at the beginning felt like it was to be the “A” story but quickly turned into the “B” story.) No the problem with so many storylines is that none of them really get the focus or depth they deserve. And because of that they aren't memorable.

And geez. Lindsay's continued dithering over Joe's proposal is enough to drive a reader insane.
