This book did not hold my attention at all. I read the first twenty percent, skimmed the middle sixty percent, then read the final twenty without feeling that I missed anything. Lisa Black has a way of repeating herself, and then looking at the same scene from different angles, throws in hardboiled science, then calls it a day.
Jack and Maggie’s so-called bond is starting to wear thin. They each hold the other’s secret, but now it does not seem to matter. Their lives have moved forward, Maggie’s ex-husband is trying to put Jack’s pieces together, but all that comes to a crashing halt when Jack and Maggie, and Rick and his partner, are called out to separate crime scenes that turn out to have more in common than what appears at first glance. After a couple of murders, fraud, money laundering, and a pill mill, there is one final scene that might complicate Jack and Maggie’s lives, but then again, with these two, nothing is ever guaranteed.
I don’t know what happened with this book. It was flat, disjointed, throw everything at the proverbial wall, be done with it, and call it book six. Anyone starting with this book would find it a struggle to start the series from the beginning.
