Saving Chase was an incredibly good read. The writing style and crime genre reminded me a lot of Dennis Lehane's books: clever, suspenseful, fast-paced, cause-worthy.
Cal O'Connor is a protagonist you can get behind, someone you want to root for. I like it that he doesn't come across as the pristine hero but someone who demonstrates he's a good person despite his flaws. I suspect that as the series unfolds, we will only grow to connect with this character more and more. He's complicated but in a positive, thought-provoking way.
The writing is smooth. You can keep pace easily and it doesn't jump around leaving you overly confused or disinterested. The storyline is compelling and so you find yourself caught up in the reading. I LOVE a book like that!
High recommendation!!
