Lorna got this for me at a garage sale.. Will start reading tonight, Feb 25th, 2021

Drugs, human trafficking, cowboys and cops...lots of action. However, it's typical Griffin--every work takes it time setting the scene, identifying the characters and then progresses to what seems to be an inevitable result, Sometimes, all this is maddeningly slow. Griffin books repeat a lot of old information and tidbits, so if you get lost in the plot or become inattentive, it'll come up again. It allows the reader to invest over the long haul in his characters, which I have done...what's happening next to Matt Payne? As always, the plot just ends. ( )

I liked the plot, but it appears to me that the Griffin co-author books are mostly written by his son, Butterworth IV, and thus the writing was not quite as sharp or focused as the previous Badge Of Honor novels. I felt this book tended to drag somewhat in the middle, but overall I enjoyed it. ( )

A decent read but a bit muddled. I never got in tune with the characters - probably because there are so many and several go by more than one name. This was my first Griffin read - I will give the author another chance. ( )

Typical Griffin book. Butterworth is melding in better too. I give high marks for all of Griffin's works but each of them shares a similar flaw: every work takes it time setting the scene, identifying the characters and then progresses to what seems to be an inevitable result, except the end is so very rushed..
