My Least Favorite Corbett
This was definitely my least favorite entry in the Matthew Corbett series that I have read thus far. The fact that I still think it's worth of 3 stars should let you know how highly I view this series overall.
The writing here is as good as ever, and it's something that will always when point from me with McCammon even when the story is mediocre which is definitely the case here. The plot doesn't really have a central mystery, or at least one that is compelling or bot blatantly obvious right away. Instead it's kind of a straight forward chase. Also, there are some strange plot decisions here that reminded me of something you might see on a somewhat dumb network TV drama including a "to be continued" type of ending. Absolutely nothing to deter me from the rest of the series at all, but nothing of the highs from the first 4 books.
