Great little entertainer
Loved it. Made my commute fly by.
Preston and Child write fun little techo-pop thrillers with enough background research to sound reasonably plausible but with enough wriggle room for some pulpy action-adventure.
Characters might be a little flat, and there are some plot twists that felt forced, but overall a very enjoyable read. Nothing terribly complicated or convoluted which made it easy to pick up where you left off.
Scott Brick…. well, he’s decent, but he likes to make every character sounds like they’re using a “half-whispered-husky-sexy voice.”
