When The Killings Done, TCBoyle

Usually I love T.C. Boyle's novels, but this one left me a little flat. There is the usual skillful weaving of all the characters together, and the final catastrophic event, but I guess I got tired of the theme-should nature be allowed to take care of the islands off the coast of California, or should people help control the populations of native animals. Maybe it's too familiar, or too close to home.
