“Devil in the Hole” begins with a great premise. James Kirkland knows something is wrong with his neighbor’s house so he calls the police to come and investigate. What they find are a woman and her children and a missing husband. James Kirkland tells in his own words what led him to contact law enforcement. Other people tell their stories, including the husband, along the way. A great beginning one would think, but the author slowly moves the story along with too many people’s accounts that somehow relate to the murders. I will remember Charles Salzberg as the author of “Devil in the Hole” and steer clear of any other titles by him, because the novel is too complicated and boring to waste any more time with this author’s future books.
