Patrick Logan (3)

Drawing Dead is book three of Patrick Logan’s Chase Adams FBI series. I started this series during my local mystery book club. The storyline revolves around a woman in the FBI who has severe trauma after her little sister was kidnapped years before. She’s also a drug addict and can’t keep it separate from the job.

I like that these stories are easy reads. The storylines and settings are different in each book and Logan keeps it entertaining. For the most part I also like the characters in each of these books. Logan has kept a consistent partner for Chase within the FBI and his character starts to develop more in the third book. I like that this book toggled to his point of view of things.

I don’t care for Chase’s drug use / background in these books. I’m hoping after this book that Logan works to move Chase on from that. I feel like it’s a common theme among a lot of police crime series to have the main character ailed with addiction problems.

★★★★ Will read book 4, would recommend the series if you’re looking for some light reading.… (meer)

The story line revolves around a woman named Chase who’s training to become an FBI agent so she can hopefully find her missing sister. Chase is a struggling addict in the middle of a divorce and custody battle. She likes difficult cases and tends to want cases that have women for victims.

I like that the storyline is fast paced and is entertaining. There were not any slow parts and the characters are relatively likeable. The ending have a good twist when it came to solving the case.

I did not like this book as much as I liked book 1. The addiction part was a little drawn out during the entirety of the book and it took focus away from the case of the murdered women. I think there could’ve been a lot more focus on the actual case versus Chase and her personal issues, the case lacked a lot of detail and felt rushed.

★★★ Not too much of a fan of this one. But because of my OCD issues, I won’t leave a series unread, I will continue on to book 3.… (meer)
