Book Review of Counterplay (Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, Bk 18)

Counterplay (Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi, Bk 18)
reviewed on + 107 more book reviews


I've read the first 18 of Tannenbaum's offerings. As I mentioned in my review of book 17 ("Fury"), his plots are getting more and more fantastic, and his characters, both villans and heros, more and more like comic book caricatures. His earlier books all got at least 4 stars from me, and sometimes 5 - this one gets 3, and that's a stretch. I have several more stacked up to read, but doubt that I'll add to my collection of his work unless he goes back to writing stories about actual crime fighting instead of all this global conspiracy terrorist crap. I had to push myself to finish this book.
