Causing the hard wayBy McatsThis is a good book, not great, but entertaining. It's a little slow to start but plenty of action thru the middle and end of course. Given the scenario, the results are pretty unbelievable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A nice changeBy CustomerThis, the latest in the series that I have read, was excellent. It also seemed a bit different from the earlier books, although it is hard to describe why, but it was a welcome change. Time to get the next book!
