Westport ~ by James Comey

I really enjoyed Comey’s 1st book, A Higher Loyalty, a nonfiction about his time with the Trump administration’s FBI https://mybecky.blog/2018/04/21/a-higher-loyalty-truth-lies-and-leadership-by-james-comey/ so I thought it might be an idea to try one of his two fictions he’s had published since then.  Well, okay,  it was an idea, but not a terribly good one-

The idea was interesting maybe even good, but after the first few chapters I just never could get into it. The characters seemed undifferentiated and a lot of the story seemed to unnecessarily involve romances of various sorts.  Not my cuppa.  It’s a who-done-it more than a thriller – the characters have thriller-type personas and the plot sticks more with interviews than chase scenes.
