The follow-up to Less Than Dead and although I liked the plot & story, I really, really disliked the way Downs ended the book. A what if - what if I did not have a computer or were computer illiterate? Tim Downs - never pull that kind of stunt again! It was low down and said to me as a reader - I don't want to decide, you decide. But you are the writer, do your job. I may be put off forever, haven't decided. Oh, and leave Alena's dogs alone. A lot more forensic entomology going on here - not near as much as the first one. By far the funniest book in the series in my opinion. Nick finds himself between two women, Kathryn and Alena, as he must track down an agroterrorist plot. I found myself laughing out loud at how clueless Nick is. Seriously, the ending of the book was total Nick. I haven't read the 4th book in the series which is apparently where Alena is introduced (they don't have the book at either of the libraries here - but I have it bought and on the way). With the cliffhanger ending of who he is going to marry I figured I should read Less than Dead to learn more about Alena before reading Nick of Time (I have no clue who he chooses so that's not a spoiler in any way of the next book). The terrorist plot was a bit far fetched but still interesting.
What do You think about Ends Of The Earth (2009)?
I'm loving the Bug Man more with every book. Looking forward to the next one!

Amazing, better towards the end. Reading the series in order helps. :)
