Title: Counterplay
Review: Well, I was warned and got this book anyway. Calling this another in the Karp/Chiampi series is very misleading. The characters have the same names but thay are not the same characters. In fact this book has such flat characters I almost see it as characterless. It is clear that when Michael Gruber left the farm, so did the characters and writing we all loved. Whatever Mr. Tanenbaum did that caused Michael Gruber to move on - he should apologize and get him back, or end the series. I feel a little like the victim of a fraud by having had this book passed off to me as another "in the series". I'm going to buy Michael Grubers's books from now on.
