Review of 'Blood will out' on 'Storygraph'

I'm not really sure how much I can say about this book. Kirn did a really great job of making me dislike him (Kirn, not Rockefeller). And not because of him being duped by someone like Rockefeller. I thought Kirn handled his own betrayal in a fairly straightforward manner, without asking for pity or sympathy. However, he did write a few offhanded remarks that really got under my skin. It's a little hard to explain without delving into dangerous territory. Suffice it to say, I enjoyed the story behind this and thought it was well-written, but won't be reading anything else by this author.
