Tom Crayder is back in C.S. Splitter's second installment of the Crayder Chronicles.This time, it's not Tom in trouble, it's his wife.Jenny stumbles across a money laundering scheme without even realizing it.But the people involved have and now, they need to get rid of the evidence, including her.....Just when you think C.S. Splitter's writing can't get any better, it does!What I loved about The Willing was Splitter's ability to "talk" you into giving some of the characters a second chance and really don't we all deserve one now and again?In The Willing you see a softer side to some of his most hardened friends and you find yourself empathizing and even rooting for the very people that we are told are "bad guys"In his style of writing, it doesn't seem fake or forced, the way that he opens his characters up just a little flows naturally as does the rest of the story making it easy to accept and love.Don't get it twisted though, there are still some bad guys to be dealt with and his friends still must do what needs to be done to protect both Tom and his unsuspecting wife Jenny.Not only is this book packed with action and suspense, Splitter still gives you comic relief in all the right places making this book a totally enjoyable and page turning read.In short, I totally recommend this book to any and everyone looking for a FAB read with just the right amount of action and emotion without reading like a Hallmark card.Splitter does care enough to write the very best, but not enough for this book to be adapted for the Lifetime network. :)
