This book was a letdown. I though Michael Brandmann did a pretty good job carrying on the series, but Reed Coleman certainly tried to put his own stamp on it, and he stamped it into the ground. He's got Jesse back to an alcoholic, and randomly tosses characters we know and like into the book, but without their names, we'd hardly recognize them. It's hard to believe he read any of the previous books, it's more like he had a list of dramatis persona and went from there. And verbose...oh my - this would have made two of any Parker book, and yet the words didn't matter. I didn't care about anyone in this book, and if Coleman is to carry on, I'd rather this be the last for me than watch (read) Jesse die a slow (or quick) death.
