Title: good stand-alone
Product review: this book is actually teetering on the halfway mark between four and five.This is a very good standalone novel from Crais. The plot is good, very original. the writing is as humane as ever, and the writing about the bomb-squad procedures is interesting and well researched.Carol Starkey is a very good character, well developed, and real. There are few male authors who can write accurately form a female perspective, but Robert Crais appears to be one of the exceptions. She is believeable and interesting. I would like to read more books about her. The way her relationship with Pell grows is also really well written and paced. Also, somewhat touching.The conclusion is thrilling and the solution satisfactory.Its good to know that his talents dont just lie with the Pike/Cole series, and that he can write different types of books. Shows range, which is always good.Well done RC, a compelling and well written thriller.
