Title: Disappointed
Product review: I am a huge fan of Robert Crais and the Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series. I preordered this and, when it arrived, I expected to stay up all night reading. Instead, I found myself falling asleep after just a few pages. After the adrenaline rush of the first gun battle, I was bored, bored, bored with this story. Having read all of the previous titles in the series, I can't say that I learned anything new about either Joe Pike or Elvis Cole. The psycho babble between Joe and Larkin seemed forced and completely unbelievable to me. I really regret paying for this in hardcover. If you are a diehard fan of the series and have to read the book, I strongly recommend borrowing it from the library. I rated the book two stars only because I have enjoyed Robert Crais' other work too much to slight him with just one star.
