I was thrilled to see Anita getting back to work and digging into a gritty crime. In fact, I was so happy, I didn't really mind that the book was a little clunky and short on action. I mean, did we really need Anita's full arsenal described twice (down to how many extra magazines for each gun) when she never even fired in the book? Anyway, I really wanted to give this book more stars, but the last quarter of the book really ruined it for me--especially the end with how she frees the hostages and defeats the big bad evil. Seriously, I wanted to cry with frustration. Oh, and the fact she slept with an underage teen wigged me out (but at least it was off screen) 
 I have hope though, that one day Anita books will again have plots that don't revolve around sex. Fingers crossed.
