Traps Need Fresh Bait by A.A. Fair
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This Lam and Cool tale starts very well and gallops at a very fast pace. Then, near the end, there are a whole lot of movements made that could have been simplified and less convoluted. This is an issue I’ve had with a few other Gardner books. It doesn’t sink the book. Just makes it clunky and makes the ending less satisfying.
The characters are better written than in other Cool and Lam books. I especially like how the good guys and bad guys are not clearly figured out until the end. The settings, critical to the story, are also well written.
Bottom line: I recommend the book. 6 out of ten points.
