McDowell really knows how to write a vengeance without wimping out over pesky things like moral compunctions.
The way he writes about abject poverty and supercilious charity is so excellent, infuriating and insightful. Same with the politics of "social improvement" the media milking manufactured outrage, court systems.
But what I love THE MOST about him are his superlative characters. Specially his matriarchs. This dude gets it.

I've enjoyed EVERY Mcdowell so far, and I'm so glad I took your reviews as a spur to read him
I love his skills of observation, and you're right-especially where matriarchs are concerned. I'm so glad you're enjoying his work too. :)
Glad you enjoyed this!
