Description:
Nothing is as important to Jake Conason as getting into an Ivy League law school--not his fraternity brothers, his girlfriend, his honor, or his ethics. That makes it particularly hard for the reader to care whether Jake gets away with murder--not just once, or even twice. This inauspicious debut takes the word antihero at face value--there's nothing heroic about this golden boy gone bad, even though Lyons labors mightily to show us more than the murderous side of his character. While written competently enough, this first novel doesn't do justice to its author's narrative skills--the plotting and suspense are minimal, and the denouement less than satisfying, since we want to see Jake get his comeuppance and he never really does. --Jane Adams
