Detective Jesse McCord #4
To Die For
Fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly will love C.M. Sutter.
A rash of pharmaceutical burglaries throughout Chicago isn’t on Detective Jesse McCord’s radar until murder is thrown into the mix. Now he and his homicide team must put a stop to the carnage.
With an ace up their sleeves, the burglars threaten the lives of pharmacists’ family members if access codes to the pharmacy doors aren’t provided. If the pharmacists resist or contact the police, their loved ones will die.
Tracking down the thieves proves difficult for McCord since pharmacists are remaining silent out of fear for their families’ lives.
But when Jesse’s girlfriend is kidnapped and video surveillance shows her emptying shelves of drugs worth a fortune on the street, the stakes escalate. The burglars want a trade—her for something only Jesse has. Could it be his life? The countdown starts, and the chess game begins.

The best McCord book so far. I’ve continued to enjoy Sutter’s books. It’s fun reading books set in such familiar locations. She nailed the villains in this one as well as the crimes. Looking forward to seeing what is next in store for Jesse and the group.

I am so far beyond annoyed read my teview
I started this series out of order. The first book I read number 8 was just recently published. I liked it so much I decided to start at the beginning. The over use of the word snugged has gotten on my last nerve. I wont need to read anymore, between Snugging cars and cigarettes Really, snuggling cigarettes into a pocket soft pack would smash them to pieces. The author also likes to use the word hug. As in hugging a wall to avoid detection by cameras. The best for last...dog, Bandit is given an all day kibble and fresh water device, however throughout the book the author has forgotten this fact and is adding additional food meaning over weight dog. Me noticing these things tells you I wasn't spell bpund

Didn’t quite gel.
I found the coincidences in the story line frustrating. Plus the original theory that a number of pharmacists would remain silent and not contact the police when ugly threats put their loved ones in real danger. I just didn’t believe it. When we read police procedurals we suspend disbelief. In this book the procedures were ably assisted by coincidences that didn’t ring true. It was following a formula. Good read but no where near exceptional.

Pretty Good
Finally, the detective might be getting a love life besides his puppy love! That in itself makes this book a gratifying read! I don’t think it is quite a thriller . Nor is it in the same class as Patterson as advertised but it is a decent read. Not quite a page turner, however. But interesting enough to to read all of it. What it has going for it is an extremely likable detective!

Really good
A page turner with an original story line. I have read so many I am always amazed to find something new. I am absolutely thrilled the F bomb and GDs are left out or I wouldnt be reading. Bravo

inconsistency
The plague of sequels. And not having a decent editor or beta readers. Too many to list at one time. But anyone who actually pays attention to details gets distracted with inconsistencies.

McCord new target
Seems the author has decided the protagonist detective now has to somehow be the target of the villains as a tale unfolds. Not sure I like this “twist” in the last couple storylines. He’s the main protagonist & should be solving crimes not the target of them.
