Once again, Robert Langdon is thrust into chaos with a female counterpart and both are on the run to discover and share the truth. Brown's story is mixed with popular landmarks and historical facts, a consistent and enjoyable trend with his books. The mystery is entertaining with some unexpected twists in the end. Always thought provoking for me. An enjoyable read that I recommend.

I found this book to be a quick and enjoyable read. The characters were down to earth with real life struggles, especially the main character Larry Macklin. The police procedures were accurate and plausible but the author didn’t get mired down with intricate details, as a reader I got just enough. The story line was interesting and I found no down time, it flowed well. Howe delves into the personalities of Macklin and his co-workers and the struggles of those in law enforcement as they try to balance a demanding career with their personal lives. Mauser, his father’s dog, provided comic relief that those with big dogs can relate to. I look forward to reading the remaining books in this series and discovering how Macklin evolves professionally and personally and how A.E. Howe evolves as a writer. I try to give self-published author’s a chance and I’m glad I tried this book.

I enjoyed the vivid writing about not just the main characters Polly and Deming but those entrenched in their lives. The story itself about what could happen concerning illegal immigration and the impact it has on families was compelling. I am not a fan of films or books that jump back and forth between the past and present and I struggled with this in this book. Overall, I enjoyed this book

I am a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and like most, we get it honestly from our family members before us. David Ross is also from my hometown so naturally I wanted to read his book. I went to his book signing at our local Barnes and Noble and stood in line for an hour to meet him and get him to sign my copy. All of it was worth it. But the book itself was so much more than I expected, in a good way. He is honest about his career even the low points including his battle with concussions, certainly a timely subject. But what I enjoyed the most was his journey to being the teammate and man that he is today. Not sure too many other professional athletes would be so open and honest. A refreshing book that for me was a great read.
