I always have a problem with authors who use unlikely coincidences to tie a story together (which is why I think the [b:The Alchemist|865|The Alchemist|Paulo Coelho|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1287827991s/865.jpg|4835472] is complete tosh). It's a lazy way to develop a story and I think Daddy's Gone a Hunting is the poorer for it.

and maybe you shouldn't telegraph the bag guy in the book title. It kinda kills the mystery.
