An actual 2-2.5 stars, but meh.
I don't have any other good description of this narrative but a "palomera movie", wich means that you can have fun while watching it, but you just move on the moment you step outside the cinema.
Our two protagonist built an interest on each other below the main story, and that happens for the sole reason that the author was telling other things while it happened. I mean, not even I was paying attention to Burns beyond the fact that noone listened to her, and McLeary occupied his whole time being a macho, and suddendly we have puppy-eyes in front of us. But at least we were well aware of her looks, maybe that was the reason.
What else can I say. The story on itself it's ok, there's enough information to keep a reader interested, but not to give a clear sight of the villains intentions, and the pacing felt right to me.
My only actual complain is that the characters were all clichés, I can't think on one that didn't had at least a couple tropes. I guess that applies to the story as well. And there's one or two holes/deus ex-machina in disguise.
Also, as a not native speaker the vocabulary was easy enough for me to keep track of everything happening.

Informative with in-depth cast. Terrorism isn't a pleasant read but interesting. This is NOT a cozy mystery. Some f-bombs & sex which detract from an engrossing tale. I'll read author again. (2 previews at end, 1 love, 1 crime.) Read preview, I won't read "love" tale. TTS-enabled.

Certainly no literary prize winner. It was kinda ok. I did finish it. But some would say that was punishment. Really the whole looser burnout agent, always adversarial, drinks, hates the world, has a peeing match with everyone, huge chip, lost his wife, kids are disconnected... but saves the world anyway? I mean really? Then soothed in the end by the woman barely explored though she runs through the entire novel? At least I like her shoes... And how did that guy figure on getting out of the Canadian place?
It's all well covered ground and been done better. But as I said, I did read it all. Go figure. I am sure this was either free on Amazon or a 99 cent acquisition at the time. I can say I got my money out of it... :)

This was a good read all the way through. Jason Melby is an author who keeps the reader's attention to the very end.
