Santa Fe Edge (Ed Eagle Series #4) Book

This is an amazing, fantastical story.

It is amazing that Mr. Woods could populate a book where almost every character is rich, flies their own airplane, or owns one that requires a crew and he expects us to believe it.

The fantasy is that almost without exception his characters are having sex (mostly consensual) with each other, or in groups, consuming vast quantities of liquor and drugs and still have time and energy to plot terrible crimes against each other. Or, in the case of the 'good' guys, try to thwart the evildoers. All of this is broken up a little by Cupie and Vittorio, the worst bodyguards in history, as comic relief. They are sort of like the gang who couldn't shoot straight.

A typical example of the fantastic is what starts as the second story in the book that tells of a golf pro coming home early to find his wife in bed, shot fatally. He manages to get out of that murder accusation quickly with the almost supernatural help of our six foot seven inch tall hero attorney. Then, he instantly hires a woman that says his wife was going to hire her as an assistant and this dope turns over to her the keys to his kingdom and all his financial accounts. Of course, they become intimate and naturally she moves into his home.

I think I am through with Mr. Woods, even though I liked his depiction of Santa Fe. It's a shame he doesn't know any real people. At least I won't be exposed to the arrogant Author's Note in the back of every book.
