Anyway, I was in the mood for easy-going fluff, and I have a book target to meet, so this seemed like a quick win.
This is an Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novel. A young woman thinks her policeman fiance is in trouble. It turns out to be much more trouble than anyone bargained for involving blackmail and murder.
It's fun, easy reading. Cole and Pike are more likeable than some of their ilk (yeah, Jack Reacher, I mean you). They are not complex characters but neither are they flat and stereotypical. Some of the supporting characters get well fleshed out as well. Others don't, notably the villains. The plot cracks along at a good pace and there are one or two nice thoughtful moments. It's entertaining and if you're looking for a light read, you could do worse than this.
