Review: Went from good to disappointing
Rating: 3 out of 5

I liked the first three books of the series.  They kept me reading one right after the other.  I liked the main character and his family.  The initial stories had some quirky, interesting turns and endings, however, in book four Joe Dillard went from being a lawyer with a cause to another stilted blockbuster gun toting defender of the right.  And in the fifth book all logic went out the window when one characters daughter is kidnapped, the kidnapper call's the fathers phone, and Dillard questions why the police want the father's phone.  Really?  Then Dillard tries to argue there is no conflict of interest defending the father, after Dillard was the one to deliver the ransom.  I am not a lawyer and know better.  I thought there might be a surprising turn that Dillard was actually set up to deliver the ransom but before I got a third of the way through I knew who the true villain was.  The story devolved and started reading like another Bruce Willis movie.  No doubt there is book six out there or soon to arrive.  I will have to think about whether I want to read it.
