As a voracious reader of mystery stories, I was intrigued by the characters, a male PI and his female side kick, an Asian Martial Arts protector. The setting occurred in the US as well as Mexico and the theme naturally involved drugs. I found the author has a knack for very
…more unconventional characters and this was somewhat off putting to me. I enjoy unconventional characters but not every character needs a strange trait.
The storyline was certainly current with a tie into the environment but much of the important parts of the story were developed through conversation as oppose to action. I guess I like my characters to do it the old fashion way, the gum shoe way.
The book was well written and very readable. The thesis was a new twist on the drug cartels but this book did not make my all time ten best list. (less)
