My heart was in my mouth for most of the book. While it is true, for my own tastes, we got a bit too much into the details of the old political crimes, though here they are still quite relevant, it did not damper the progress we made in the present. Another common inquiry when dealing with sets of three did it fall victim to the typical "middle child" syndrome so often seen in trilogies? No, definitely not. Did that make it less gruesome? Not really, I mean we ARE dealing with hate crimes, drug makers/dealers, police/political corruption, assassinations, and.need I continue? It did however mean that it wasn't quite as graphic as its predecessor.a good thing to note for the squeamish among you. Whereas the first book had more of the heinous crimes detailed, this one was more about the "meat" of the investigations. I've had 3 dogs, 2 rabbits and one cat (my current pet).

What I don't understand is people who actively hate animals. That I can understand, you're physically afraid of something, so I don't hold it against people who have a fear of any sort of animal. This isn't people who have, legit, phobias regarding animals. I've NEVER understood how people can hate animals.
