Love this character and story

I’ve really enjoyed Colter and his story. He’s coming into his own as a character. Excited for what’s next.

So good!

A new generation of Davenport!! Hooray! This is such a good book. A female and less experienced Lucas. I’m really excited to watch Leddie develop as a character.

So many story problems

Revisado: 09-11-20

Overall, this is a fun story. There is some action, and it has a decent pace. However, it is plagued with silly twists and turns that don’t make any sense. Part of this might be that I read a bunch of thrillers, and as a result, understand some of the laws that the characters are breaking. Some of this is that people just don’t behave the way the author describes them.

*spoilers ahead**

Consider this...

1) one of the characters opines that IPA’s were only invented to add alcohol to beer and to get people drunk.

2) the father of an FBI agent commits suicide, the FBI is perfectly fine with her investigating.

3) FBI agents go to a guy’s house to question him. Before they even ask a question, one of the agents tells him he has one two many “pot” plants and he is going to arrest him. His reasoning? If He let one guy get away with having too many plants he knew that everyone else would hear about it. ???

4) the FBI agent investigating her father’s death arrests an important suspect, she and her other agents, watch while the protagonist, beats in the dude to get him to talk. They won’t do it themselves, but this is standard practice.

5) the dirty cop gets arrested and gets a lawyer and gets out on a 300k bail in a day.

6) then he commits suicide, and our hero’s read about the suicide in the paper. They don’t mention at all that they should have known he was out, no one called anyone etc etc.

7) there are so many more, including this line, she’s a teenager, take her out to the range and shoot with her, once she realizes she isn’t as good as you it will take her down a peg and she will be easier to talk to...

But the worst is this.

8) the whole story hinges on a man who is an older doctor. He is sexually active, and meets a woman younger than his daughter. She is trying to extort him, by videoing their wild sex and threatening to tell his family. Tell them what exactly? Oh, that an older man had a relationship with a woman not his wife? Definitely worth 250k to keep her quiet.

There are many many others and these things may not bother you. I’ve listened to all three of these books and dealt with some story issues in the others but this one was over the top.

Also, the gravel of the narrator really annoys me after a while.
