I Almost Didn't Bother To Finish This!
Even though PJ Gray describes herself as "fiercely protective" of her son, she leaves him alone in the house at night with someone she's sure is a psychotic killer because "so far Columbus has only killed adults." So that's okay, I guess. Columbus manages to murder someone by starting a rumor that the person is a drug runner: He starts the rumor, then sits back knowing, somehow, that car-jackers are bound to attack and kill that person; he even somehow knows what night this will happen. I think there were a couple pages of explanation missing here. I got the feeling at times that during editing big blocks of information or background got cut out. Sorry to be so negative! I did like the characters of PJ and Schultz. I liked the way PJ bluntly acknowledges to herself that she wouldn't mind getting some sex. She's no priss. However, I was getting so fed up with the plot holes that I had to force myself to finish it.
