( )Interesting series I've been a big fan of Repairman Jack since the beginning. As a part of the series, Bloodlines fills in the storyline nicely. But it's different from most of the other volumes, and I don't think this is one of the best. Repairman Jack fixes things for people. Usually through some sort of trickery, and half the fun of these books is in how the scam is pulled off. Woven through these stories has been an ongoing series of confrontations with agents of the Other. In Bloodlines, the confrontation comes to the front, and I think Wilson is headed to a final confrontation within the next few books. But the con is tossed in at the end, and I think the book suffers for it. Recommended for the continuing storyline, but don't start with this one. Read the whole series in order. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765317060, Hardcover)Jack has been on hiatus since the events in Harbingers. With his lover Gia’s encouragement he dips a toe back into the fix-it pool. Christy Pickering’s eighteen-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn’t returning her calls. Will Jack find out why? Jack learns there’s a very good reason for the unreturned calls: The PI is dead, a victim of a bizarre water-torture murder. As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem’s past he learns that the man is not who he says he is. Who—and what—he is will have a devastating effect on Jack’s life and future, adding another piece to the puzzle of who he really is and why he’s been drafted into this cosmic shadow war.
