The New Breed by Lee Costigan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This a very good police procedural story of the efforts to rescue a kidnapping victim. The story follows closely a good deal of steps and lengthy details of those efforts. Characters are all very well written. Always nice to read an author who knows how to delineate characters for the reader.
The settings are extremely well done throughout as so many make their way to try and solve this case. I was particularly impressed with the writing of the transportation routes.
The story foundation is pretty simple. It’s the telling and examination of the elements of the story that make this stand out.
The final paragraph that ends the case is the shakiest part of the book. Certain actions described are possible, but it is a stretch of the imagination. After so much well done, i had to read that paragraph 4 times to believe the fumbling. It’s not enough to mark the book.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 of 10 points.
