My View
Another entertaining read within this series. As with the other books in the series there is a clever plot (two in this case) that moves along with pace. I thought I had worked out who was behind the blackmail plot but fell in the author's trap and was surprised by the twists at the end of the book. I particularly like the way you feel part of the investigation (and thinking) within the case, which isn't always the case unfortunately with books in this genre. To top this off there are a good group of main characters and Wade's personal life moved forward well in this book. These are quick and easy reads, and if you haven't tried this series I would encourage you to. ( )
