Logan, in his second outing, is asked to locate Alan's wife, Sara, who disappeared into Mexico, leaving only a note and their child. After Alan returns home, he discovers that every trace of Sara has been removed from their home, including pictures stored on their computer. Alan, worried for her safety, contacts his lawyer who hires Logan. Soon, it becomes apparent that others are looking for her, too. Questions arise. Is Diana really operating in Sara's best interest. And who is the doctor who hires thugs (relatively incompetent) to track her down and along the way eliminate the competition? There is a side plot involving Logan's father and his long-lost brother who had been killed in World War II. It seemed irrelevant and continually interrupted the story. Contrary to many other reviewers, I didn't think it expanded on the relationship between Logan and his father at all. Harp's brother (Logan's uncle) had been missing for sixty years and his Logan and his father haven't developed much of a relationship by that time, well.... I read the first Logan Harper and while the first part of that book (Little Girl Gone) was a good mystery, the last half, when he was in Thailand and Burma bordered on ridiculous (of course my credibility is strained here since I liked most of the Bond movies.) On a more general note, I think I prefer Battles' Jonathan Quinn "cleaner" books a bit better even if they tend to even more fantastical. We all have different expectations for books we read (or listen to.) Those expectations can be met or destroyed by any combination of things: are we reading for information? entertainment? to be challenged? is the narrator competent?, etc. Sometimes when I read negative -- or positive -- reviews of books like this, I wonder whether the reviewer might have forgotten this basic premise. This book more than met my expectations for a good light read/listen that kept my interest while mowing and driving to work. Three instead of four stars (ridiculous rating system) because the ending leaned toward action rather than a more cerebral solution which I prefer. This book was an unexpectedly good read! It was kind of a sleeper in that I bought it on sale from Amazon for Kindle (I think it was 2.49) because it was on sale and the description was intriguing. Actually, I really expected I would get exactly what I paid for. So imagine my surprise that it drew a 4 - star rating from me. Battles' characters are well rounded and draw both empathy as well as compelling the reader's sympathy. The plot is well done, with a few twists and turns here and there that will keep you turning the pages. It is a cross between an action/adventure and a mystery with enough intrigue and enough clues to keep the mystery buff reading as well as enough action to draw those who want more adventure than sleuthing. It is a quick read and was very well worth the price. Congratulations Mr. Battles - I look forward to reading more of your books!! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

From award winning author Brett Battles comes the second Logan Harper thriller.It was supposed to be a fun weekend, a celebration of a marriage and growing family. Alan Lindley couldn't have been happier...until his wife, Sara, disappeared. Asked by a mutual friend to help look for her, Logan Harper is sure he'd discover a wife who simply wants out of the marriage. What he finds instead is a woman who didn't exist, a diabolical plan, and people who would do anything to keep it a secret, including taking the life of the person most important to him. What would you do for those precious to you? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
