My first recommendation…if you are sensitive to animal cruelty, do not read this novel.The author is consistent with this sequel, in twisting plots together (particularly one very dark, and one the opposite) to keep the reader entertained. But his best skill is creating characters that you like to follow.I rate this lower than the two earlier novels in the series because of the animal cruelty issue, but otherwise the reading is enjoyable, and fast. This was my least favorite of the series but I still recommend it if you like the character. It is a bit darker but it's understandable because of the revelation at the end of the last book. Like the second book, there are several cases going on. I think his old detective style monologue gets a bit muddled in this book. We'll see if it comes back in book 4.The main case is the disappearance of a man who is involved in trying to stop shark fining. There's also a case of a flasher in a quiet, exclusive retirement community. Finally, we have Jim looking into some recent developments on the cold case of his mother's death.
What do You think about Hail Mary (Jim Knighthorse Series, #3 (2000)?
Another fantasic addition to this series, really enjoyed it!
