One of the issues I've always had with short stories is the issue of nothing ever being resolved with cliff hangers for endings.I enjoy reading Jeffery Deaver's work and have read several to date but in this case there's just too many untidy issues.
Colter Shaw is a reward seeker turned hostage negotiator for the Humble police department.
A mother of a teen runaway has offered 3k for her safe return of her 19yo named Emma.
A blow up over drugs seems to be the reason why her sudden departure.
Now there's another issue involving a scam...with nothing available for Shaw to do.
Ignore the golden rule to never get involved...
Well, there you have it. Take it or leave it.
I can't offer much else other than I bumped it up to three stars because I know Deaver's work is often wonderful and this may just be a bump in the road for me.
Thank you Bibliotheca for this e-read in exchange for this honest review.
