    Nut Up Or Shut Up
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2015*

I enjoyed the previous Victor Carl novels, but not this one. The problem is two fold; 1) the premise of the story is not credible and 2) although Victor Carl's wit and snark comes through from time to time, overall this is a dour and dark book. Now to the premise: Victor bumbles across massive political corruption in the form of "big butter," which translates to big corporate money flowing to phony candidates. So far so good. But in this case big butter comes in the form of a rich fat evil slob with boils all over his body that loves to torment people and purchase politicians to do his bidding. In this case the politician is an equally evil conservative politician. Now think about this. Victor lives and works in Philly. How does he stumble across a prominent evil conservative politician? He's in a "blue" state and Philly is like most other major cities in that it's been run by one party for many, many years. Evil conservatives are about as common as saber tooth tigers. But of course his opponent is true blue and hates the vitriol of modern campaigns. Instead he chooses to focus on saving the planet from global warming. And oh yeah, the evil conservative politician even fornicates with his sister. So what would be more believable? How about a one party city that is close to bankruptcy because of a circle of corruption (hey, good title) in the form of taxpayer funds used to pay public sector employees, who in turn repackage a portion of the money in the form of campaign contributions for elected officials. These same elected officials then oversee contract negotiations with the public sector employees that send them the contributions. Now what could go wrong?? Perhaps bloated contracts that result in bills that cannot be paid when the chickens come home to roost (like now). Now that sounds like big butter to me. But it would take balls to publish this story because this time you would not be waving your pen at a windmill, but instead a real dragon. And this dragon will remove you from the social A-list AND more significantly unleash a very successful tactic in the form of contact from big butter itself in the form of tax audits, safety inspections, etc. And the beauty of this tactic is you don't even have to be guilty to suffer because the process is the punishment. That's why when it comes time to nut up or shut up, so many authors reach for the cup of shut up and invent something like this.

    Another good read
  

*by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020*

Lashner never disappoints. While this is not his best, you can count on the same wit, dark humor and on learning something you didn't know or weren't sure of about human nature and the world's turning. You may come out more trusting, but most likely not!

    I'm so glad to have Victor Carl back
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2015*

I'm so glad to have Victor Carl back. Lashner is in rare form with this piece on his anti-hero's latest effort to reinvent himself as a rich, suave political fixer. As usual, the despicable and desperate characters that populate the story are unforgettable, but for a daring change of pace Lashner doesn't give readers another legal thriller. This is a political thriller every bit as noir as Victor's previous catastrophic forays into the dark side of criminal law in the big city. I rate it as possibly the best Victor Carl story of all; certainly up there with any reader's favorite. I hope Lashner writes more about the tireless but largely futile attempts of Victor's to rise above his penniless existence. Next time, with any luck, he'll bring back the redoubtable Skink, one of the most memorable private investigators in fiction.
