I enjoyed this book a lot. Your author doesn't drop the narrative and yet he is working a whole lot of angles but still pulls them all together at the end. Fast paced and lots of fun, Common Enemy is definitely not "the Great Novel" but is well written and well edited. The characters fit into the "fun" part. They  are a typical mold for the good guys and the bad but this is the same kind of thing we watch on TV every evening. In fact, this could make a mini movie for Showtime. There are a couple of times where I just shook my head when our main character, Raam ( Rhymes with bomb) Commoner did things no self respecting  PI would do but  he gets the case handled. The names of the characters are a bit over the top. I mean Viktor Viken? Kayman Karl? Talk about alliteration? The real "bad" guy is just that but Mr. Bach gives us enough clues about midway though the book for you to figure out who and why he is the evil killer. You will have to pay attention though. He doesn't give it to you… you have to pay attention to his clues which is also part of what makes the book a fun read. As I said, I enjoyed it and will probably read the next one as I like the romance that developed between the he and she characters. Want to see where the author takes them. Looking for a fun read, give it a go.
