Review: Nice Addition To the Series

This was not my favorite in the Bigler County series, but I enjoyed it a lot. There was a lot of sexual tension between the hero and heroine, which made it a good read, and also a good mystery/thriller component. While I don't normally read drug cartel-type books, I liked the investigation aspect (I like crime shows and thrillers). I was surprised to see someone post that they were confused why some names of cities and counties were changed (or made up) and some were real place names. That seems to be what writers do, especially when they're setting a whole series in a single place. They just make up a town (or towns and a county in this case) so they can have the place be whatever they want it to be. Personally, I like made-up places because then the author can just use their imagination and make it more exciting than the real places we know.I don't speak Spanish, so if there were problems with that I didn't notice. I did like that the Spanish was in there, though, because it gave a flavor of the people and the culture. I really liked 'The Watcher' and I loved 'The Avenger'. This one was a nice addition to the series but is not my favorite of all. I hope Jo Robertson keeps writing Bigler County books, though, because I will read them all.
