Soft Targets by John Gilstrap

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Excellent, Excellent, Excellent (5.5 stars)!

I loved the focus on the earlier Irene Rivers (the FBI director in the series). In future books, I'll have a backstory for Rivers, instead of a woman who shows up for a few chapters to move the book along and provide cover for Grave. I really enjoy books that have a personal element. The action is great, but without something deeper between and among the characters, action/adventure and thriller books become a chain of violent acts with no value. Getting to know Rivers on a personal level will surely make the rest of the series better.

I found the novella length surprisingly refreshing. It was fast-paced and kept me reading and reading, until I was done a week later. Soft Targets is highly recommended.
