Reviews

[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love Robert Bone and his team. I'm quite pleased that the person who died was who they were, and I didn't figure out who'd done the deed - although maybe I should have.
Thoroughly enjoyable read, just like the rest of the series.

I sure wish there were more in this series. There's always a murder, or two, mayhem, intelligence, interactions between the characters, and a touch or more of humor.

Picked this up at a used book store because it sounded interesting. I have to say it started slow. I almost put it down without finishing. I was stuck in the DC airport for several hours with all my other books in my checked in luggage. So I plodded through the beginning. I'm now about 2/3 through, and need to find out who did it!
