The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man by W. Bruce Cameron
Summary: Ruddy McCann, former college football star, has
experienced a seismic drop in popularity; he is now Kalkaska,
Michigan’s full-time repo man and part-time bar bouncer. His best friend
is his low-energy Basset hound Jake, with whom he shares a simple life of
stealing cars.
Simple,
that is, until Ruddy starts hearing a voice in his head.
The
voice introduces himself as Alan Lottner, a dead realtor. Ruddy isn’t sure if
Alan is real, or if he’s losing his mind. To complicate matters, it turns out
Katie, the girl he’s fallen for, is Alan’s daughter.
When
Alan demands Ruddy find his murderers, Ruddy decides a voice in your head
seeking vengeance is best ignored. When Alan also demands he clean up his
act, and apartment, Ruddy tells him to back off, but where can a voice in your
head go?
With
a sweet romance, a murder mystery, a lazy but loyal dog and a town full of
cabin-fevered characters you can’t help but love, New York Times bestselling
novelist W. Bruce Cameron’s The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man is yet
another laugh-out-loud, keep-you-up-late, irresistible read.
Angie's Comments: I wasn’t sure about this book before I
started reading it; the plot seemed quite odd. Once I started reading, I was
hooked! The book is funny and has some interesting characters. Ruddy is a great
guy who made (and makes) mistakes. I love how the murder mystery is handled by
police. I am still in disbelief that W. Bruce Cameron could make such a great
book out of such an odd plot!
