I got started on this in 2017 and circumstances kept me from finishing it until now. Like the other books in Holton's Larry Cole series, I liked this one very much. I'm saddened that I have only one more left to go (Mr. Holton passed away in 2001).

It took me forever to get into this book but once I got into the characters, it wasn't bad. Unfortunately, again I started in the 9th book of a series and so I didn't know anything about the characters leading up to this book. So now I need to start with book 1.
