I've been on a bit of a Josh Lanyon binge lately. This is a stand alone novel which follows what I am now recognizing as the Lanyon formula. Male protagonist doing the amateur sleuth thing (in this case Elliot is an ex FBI agent) and solving the mystery while reuniting with his law-enforcement-type ex. While there were some aspects of this novel which struck me as familiar (e.g. Elliot's feelings re his knee injury/scars vs Adrien English post heart surgery) it was still an enjoyable read. Lanyon's writing is engaging - like with the other books of his I have read - they are quick and fun, with lots of witty dialogue and just the right mix of romance and mystery. Fair Game felt quite a bit darker than some of the others, maybe a bit more violent? or at least the mystery element felt more like serious cops/FBI chasing the bad guy, rather than amateur sleuth pottering about and accidentally getting shot at. Yellow Sands is probably still my favourite - this one is on par with Adrien, and more to my taste than Holmes and Moriarity.
