Review: The Diabolical by David Putnam (Bruno Johnson Series Book #11)
Summary & Review:
Bruno used to be a police officer and in prison. He now lives in Costa Rica with his wife Marie and 12 kids whom he rescued from abusive homes. So he could avoid going to jail in the US, he had to move to Costa Rica. It’s up to him, though. The Costa Rican police are threatening to turn him in if he doesn’t help them look into a shooting at the Gato Gordo nightclub.
Bruno is in the middle of a fight between the Russian mafia and the Mob over stolen goods. The local Justice Department is on his tail, the police chief is threatening to deport him, the FBI is on his tail, and he’s mistaken for a jewel thief. Oh, and there’s the Ice Princess! (his Boss).
This is a different kind of thriller with lots of dead bodies. It’s fast-paced and Quentin Tarantino-esque. Oh, and a lot of funny times with Waldo, his friend’s Rottweiler!
Another plot with lots of turns and action, lots of bad guys, and lots of funny parts, like Waldo, Bruno‘s friend Drago‘s big Rottweiler dog, who plays a big part in the story. This dog has his own mind, and no one can fool him! But the part about Bruno‘s relationship with the cute Waldo makes me laugh a lot.
