Better than average…. I got a pretty good review from a friend before I read this book. I did not like it as well as my friend did, in fact, I was disappointed during the first chapter or so, but in this case, my perseverance paid off and over all this book was a better than average read. I have added the others in this series to my reading list.
Plot in the beginning a bit sloppy. The plot is a bit weak, the guy lock picked the luggage hold of this modern Mercedes Benz, a normal patrolman becoming this expert lock pick, without setting off any alarms. Also managed to disable this woman, rendering the unconscious with memory loss, completely, for long enough to fit in exactly with the plot.Here I had the same feeling about the story as when an author tells me in a story ” he checked weather the “revolver’s”, “safety catch”, is on.
