Sydney Rye and her boyfriend Dan are enjoying a relaxing stay in India. Of course, Sydney can't stay still for long. She saves a woman from being beaten and raped, at the very least. The woman she saved, Anita, tells Sydney and Dan about the man she is trying to take down. So Sydney gets embroiled in the struggle against a pedophile with deep enough pockets for the authorities to look the other way. Sydney's ready to take on the challenge, but will it cost her more than she anticipates?`Strings of Glass' is the fourth book in the Sydney Rye series, which keeps getting better and better. Sydney's a very strong female character and even though she has her moments of insecurity, she works through them to get the job done. After working previously to take down evil, she gets restless easily. So she's kind of glad when a new opportunity essentially falls in her lap. While I don't think readers would have any problems getting into `Strings of Glass' as a stand-alone, it's best to read the series from the beginning. I felt Sydney has really matured coming into this book and it shows by some of her choices. She'd normally rush in, but in this case she's taking her time, finding out information, and making a plan. There's also a pretty shocking couple of twists at the end of the book, not all of which readers will foresee. I really love this series and `Strings of Glass' is a wonderful addition.Sydney Rye Series: Unleashed (1), Death in the Dark (2), Insatiable (3), Strings of Glass (4)
