The Fall Guy by James Lasdun

3.0

Read because this is set in a fictionalised Woodstock NY, which I visited briefly this summer. This was a quick read, and ok but seemed a bit confused about whether it wanted to be literary fiction or a thriller. The narrator was at times very wordy and introspective, considering what a poor education he'd had, while the story didn't really have a fast enough pace or enough surprises to be very thriller-y.
