Review: Decent, but flawed thriller
Rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed this book and the characters in it.  What got to be a true distraction were all of the typos (which I would not normally complain than much about).  Every time the author says "the Sixties" it comes out "the Sixties.60s" and so on with every number.Another annoyance was the fact that this is book two of a series (which Sherer, the author does not let the reader forget).  I realize that Sherer is trying to sell books here, but I didn't want to have to go back and read another book just to know what he's talking about when he makes reference to Blake's past (Blake is the protagonist).I would give this book 3 1/2 stars if I could.  Had it not been for the subtle annoyances already mentioned, I'd be more enthusiastic.  Others may find them less bothersome.  On the plus side, I liked Blake and Sherer did an excellent job of making him well-developed and sympathetic. He's a divorced former basketball player with ADHD who, having come down in the world, washes dishes and delivers newspapers.  I enjoyed the plot and the story never lagged.  The end was full of action and tied up all but one loose end (gotta leave the door open for a sequel).  Not a bad book but it could have been better.
