This series continues to be one of my favorite. I enjoy reading the interactions between the characters, and I enjoy Lucas's process of figuring out the cases. I also enjoy how the books don't just focus on the "most important" case. It makes it seem more realistic because there is never actually just one thing going on.

This case specifically, though, was very interesting. A missing daughter and her friends, who are heavily involved in the alternative scene, start turning up dead. Very interesting it is a very confusing case. There's also a semi-interesting surveillance of a big time dealer's pregnant girlfriend going on that gets almost just as much coverage as the main case of the book. I appreciate the attention of both cases, and how they're both important and intense once things actually get going.

What I don't appreciate is all the political talk that goes on in the background about some Republican Convention meeting thing? Yeah, yeah, Lucas works for the government now so it makes sense to have some political talk throughout the book, but I just don't care. It seems to me to just be more filler for the book so it isn't all just action-action-action. But I like the action. Not the arguments about how much of a "horse's ass" the president is.
