Here's what the book is about:
Three books in one, Supermax is a pitch-black
crime comedy from two of the hottest thriller writers on either side of
the Atlantic. These newly collected cult novels are a bloody, bawdy
odyssey of drug dealing, adultery, and murder for fans of Elmore
Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho.
THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CRIME STORY EVER TOLD...
IN A SINGLE VOLUME FOR THE FIRST TIME!
When
a small-time businessman who’s a legend in his own mind (that would be
Max) hatches a plan with his sexpot secretary (that’s Angela) to murder
his wife and live happily ever after, you might think everything would
go smoothly – but Max and Angela are in for the ride of their lives, as
an escalating series of bad decisions and worse luck plunges them into a
tsunami of crime and depravity featuring IRA hitmen, an aspiring serial
killer, a wheelchair-bound blackmailer, trigger-happy drug dealers, and
the warring factions in one of the world’s deadliest prisons.
My review:
Bust - Max & Angela 1
Well...apparently I've read book 1 last year in September 2024. The odd thing, for me, is I don't remember it.
My review then:
This was a good book. A few twists & turns. An enjoyable read.
I will give it a more thorough review.
It's still a good book. With quite a few twists and turns. Karma came for Max. How it reached that point, is what you have to find out by reading.
Slide - Max & Angela 2
Max & Angela are no longer together in this book. Both are living their own lives, and making more of a mess of them. Max is still in New York, but no longer runs this Networking Company, which had folded at the end of book 1. Angela is in Ireland, where she meets up with the killer, nicknamed, Slide.
Things don't work out very well for both Max & Angela. I guess that's what happens when you get in with the wrong crowd. Needless to say that everything catches up with Max. Not so much for Angela. Again.
The Max - Max & Angela 3
Well...things have changed for both Max and Angela. Again. Yet, some things stay the same. Or do they? Things aren't going so well for Max and Angela. In fact, one could say that things are going bad for both of them.
Full three book review:
Well...I've never read a book that had every character living in a fantasy world inside their own heads. Every character was like that. Delusional.
Do both Max and Angela get what's coming to them? Yes and no.
The book has a lot of action. It doesn't really slow down. Once you get past the fact that they're all a bit delusional, it becomes a fun read. The ending was satisfying. Although, I do wish it ended a bit different for Max. Not going to say what happens to either of them.
Thanks to Charles Ardai from Hard Case Crime for sending me a PDF copy to review. I did enjoy this book. I give it a solid 4 stars.
