I can not believe I would never say it is a novel Crais is that I do not. . . but that was not good. Especially for me was the plot. Too many characters that I found very difficult to follow. Not derive the switching points of view a lot. Every character in this novel seems to a better understanding of what happened to the drug cartels and signs Shaddy me and the girl who had nothing to do with understanding Joe.Ai I have a better understanding of Joe? Sure. But I could only read a book by flashbacks and was fine with that. Rating: 1 / 5

As a longtime fan of Robert Crais Joe Pike and Elvis Cole enjoy stories, I found it disappointing in the form of writing, character development and plot. Every writer, with (as little as) a “stamp”, not once but twice, is lazy (and include) an editor. Also, all characters, our heroine (called victim) development is so far, as a report from Entertainment Tonight 15 seconds. Gee, a rich girl sexy famous for being famous, and whose father owns (among others) Hotels: Wonder who this could be? And wow, the father has business relationships damaging yourself! Who would have thought it? Forget it – do not know how so collected four and a half star, and go to the previous books, which are really good. Rating: 1 / 5

You do not see. Familiarity breeds. . . You know, sometimes we do not know makes it more fun when we are back on the history. Somehow, following Pike takes on its impact. Well done, but. You see, if you do not agree. Rating: 4 / 5

Robert Crais should take a long vacation and think about what fait.Joe Pike is a compelling character (like Elvis Cole) and cuts back on flashbacks work well in the book Pike, showed the best side Crais’ writing, but all the other important characters are badly drawn and support in writing to the lame thread of the story is pathetic – like a pastiche of bad scenarios Crais were written, developed and discarded. The photo on the back of the book Designing Crais show supercool sunglasses with Pike. Perhaps less self-esteem, and You write better next time. Rating: 1 / 5
