Drop shot is the fifth installment in the Jack Lisbon series. I always love getting my teeth stuck into these books.

When a tennis pro is found brutally murdered, Jack and Claudia are called in to catch the culprit. But why was the pro found in such a seedy hotel? Who hated them enough to do the unthinkable?

I love that each book in this series centres around a different sport. Tennis was the focus of this installment which I loved. It felt perfect for a summer read, and reminded me so much of my childhood! I’m not the sportiest person but that doesn’t make any difference to how much I enjoy these books. You don’t need an advanced technical knowledge and I actually love the unique concept. I found the reveals in this to be quiet clever, I really enjoyed seeing how the detectives made it to the suspect by connecting different dots. However, it is not possible to guess ‘who dunnit’ in this novel, which did detract some of my enjoyment.

With each new installment in this series Blair is able to create such wonderful character development for Jack. I have loved seeing how far he has come so far. The ending in particular had me smiling from ear to ear. Jack has almost become a long lost uncle for me, I truly feel like I know him in real life. I cannot wait to see what happens to Jack and his friends next.

I would recommend this series for fans of easy to read police procedurals. I want to thank Blair Denholm for allowing me to read this book and give my personal thoughts.
