If you read this series, you’re going to read this one. I can’t imagine a review dissuading me from reading a book in a series within which I’m already invested. That said, if there were other books you had on your shelf, and you were trying to decide which one to read, you can put this one on the back burner. There was a lot of character introduction with two new team members, the details of their apprehension in being brought into the fold, then dropped into the deep end. Then there was the antagonist’s plot which was, well, they are all convoluted, but this one was arguably over-the-top. I think if you are reading the series, you have a pretty obvious switch for suspension-of-disbelief, we use it for the gray man and Mitch, and all of the characters we’ve come to know and love… But this book… It was hard to stay in that mode. I’m just writing it off as a necessary link in the chain, hoping the next book is a little more punchy 👊🤞
