And now the story begins…
What did I like? As you probably remember from my review of the previous three books, I have fallen in love with the characters in this series. My heart broke with his drug addiction but filled with happiness when he entered the drug rehab. Cal is trying so hard to get on with his life and bringing his family back together again. He finally, has connected with Sam, and again his job has broken them apart. Because of his relationship with Nick being on shaky ground due to Mark’s death, he needs Sam and Ellie more than ever. Now, as we watch him start this new case, plus add his worry of his family, you will feel the tension mount. The way that Robert pulled out all the stops for Cal and Nick, helping each other through this mess they find themselves in, is just short of amazing!
What will you like? Incredible action, intricate mystery, absolutely an awesome storyline, and more twists, turns, and jumps than a Mexican jumping bean. Some of the most astonishing characters, even the bad guys are amazing. A beautifully written and edited storyline, that will have you on the edge of your seat all the way through. I recommend that you have a box of tissues handy for this whole series. With each book so far, I have been either crying from happiness or sorrow, but dang, I could not put them down either. Loved the style of writing and especially his use of POV. I finished this one and jumped right into book 5, Cabal! Wow, I cannot wait! This is an excellent series that will keep you up at night! For sure, this is another great addition to your Mystery library!
