Disappointed in this one. it was like he took elements from his previous 3 novels and just rearranged them for this one. he phoned it in. i hope number 5 in the series is not like this. i mean i can understand a pattern forming and rehashing old ideas on say number 10 in a series (most authors do this) but not in number 4. book number 4 by an author should still have fresh ideas,if not they need to hang it up.

like previous books- bernie and chet are separated and basically kidnapped, a kid is held for ransom cuz the dad is a criminal that is being punished/pressured, and dirty law enforcement in a small town. like really Quinn? this is just lazy. i, of course, figured out what was going to happen every step of the way because i had already read it in the previous novels. but Chet as always was quite an entertaining narrator but the mystery and thriller aspect was zilch .
