Into the Fire

This is an entertaining series, and the rating doesn't reflect that. The problem is that with suspense novels working at breakneck speed, there is an issue with length. This story is complicated–or, more accurately, multi-layered– and that works against the sustaining of pace and suspense. Hurwitz juggles these elements well, but the peeling back of the layers erodes the suspense. I was left with an “Oh, c'mon!” reaction. Nevertheless, it was absorbing enough that I just got the next two in the series.
