Seldom have I resented the money spent on a paperback book. Double Blind is an exception. Mr. Goddard's past efforts were a credit to the genre. This attempt is lifeless!The writing quality reminds me of a C-paper in Writing Composition 101. The cast of charactures (good guys and bad guys)are cardboard caricatures. To compensate, the muddled plot moves at the pace of a slow loris.I'm sorry Mr. Goddard, but this is really a badly written novel. I look forward to your next effort.
