Helpful Score: 1
Sandford took a break from his two big series to bang out a little standalone political thriller. Our hero Jake Winter is in the same mold as Davenport or Flowers,, he's a "fixer" - he knows everyone, they all listen to him, etc etc. Sandford has fun mixing political stereotypes and sort of randomly assigning some to each party, assuring the readers who care about such things that they can either nod knowingly and be offended pretty much in equal measure. They're all rotten, basically. I've often said that Sandford novels are like potato chips for me - tasty, fast to consume, and forgettable. I'm writing this about a week after I read it and I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I have forgotton exactly how it ended. I remember I read it in a day, I even stayed up a little late to finish, so it definitely kept my attention and i wanted to know what happened. There are a number of iittle twists and turns, the good guys (the ones Jake works for) get what they want, and the bad guys (the ones who murder people) mostly get punished. Oh and Jake gets the girl. You know what you're getting with Sandford and it's always a good beach or airplane book.
