The Snake Handler

Just straight up fucking fun from beginning to end. This novel takes off at a dead sprint and doesn't let off for a second until the end. Really really liked it.

For a book so tight and hyperfocused it did a great job with the world-building. Very quickly established the delicate balance between multiple crime families, big pharma, the cartels, a lone-wolf incel redpill crimelord, the cops, and the protag's own small weird congregation and double life and then threw some snakes at it.

Felt a lot like the kind of movie they don't make anymore. A little bit Crank, a little bit Jackie Brown. This would definitely make a really good movie..
