Helpful Score: 1
Didn't care for this episode at all, moves slow and too many police 'jargon' phases, initials, etc. to understand, too many characters to keep track of, too many pages with just words and can be skimmed and just moves along too slow.
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of Vigilante as part of the Goodreads First-Reads program, where readers get books for free in the hope that reviews get written for the various social media outlets.
I dont generally choose police procedurals when I select the novels I read, so I dont have an extensive background in the genre. This one got picked up because I got it free (often a deciding factor)...
Its called A Shane Scully Novel and is apparently 11th in the series. I hadnt read any of the prior novels, but this doesnt seem to be a factor, as this novel stands alone well. (Stephen J. Cannell, the author, is also the creator of a number of police shows for television, so hes got the skills for handling loosely connected stories down.)
I really loved this book. I was engaged by both the protagonists and antagonists throughout, and thought the premise was original enough that I was not at all anticipating any of the twists that happened. I was quite happy that I was reading this book, and then the ending thundered off the pages, as all the threads were tied together, and thrust the book into the wow column. This was a bunch of fun.
5 of 5 stars.
