Mehso-so

I‘ve enjoyed most of Edgerton‘s novels, but reading this one in 2022 had a few cringe-worthy moments. Killer Diller pick up where Walking Across Egypt left off. The characters are engaging, but the over-arching plot that attempts to bring them together left me wanting. Maybe satires of “Christian” schools of higher learning can no longer compete with real-world news (see: Jerry Falwell, Jr)
