Hallinan weaves together several subplots to make an exciting read. The Fourth Watcher's characters are real and the setting takes the reader on a journey to an exotic place that few of us will visit in person. Poke Rafferty wants only to write his travel book, marry Rose, and settle down with her and his newly adopted daughter Miaow, but trouble rears its ugly head in more than one place. As he tries with the help of the Bangkok police chief to settle one problem, another problem arises. In the explosive ending all the pieces fall together and the reader can relax, we hope.
