I think I would have given this four stars, but I have lived in "Silicon Valley" my whole life and I have never heard anyone refer to it as "the SV". And most of us who live here don't even say "silicon valley" as often as these characters did. Also, San Jose is not a county. And it's "EA" not "Electronic Arts". I mean, it is Electronic Arts, but who says that?! It was stuff like that that clues you into the fact that the author wrote about a setting he's not familiar with and did minimal research on besides looking at maps.

Otherwise, this wasn't bad. Colt is a more likeable character than Lincoln Rhyme so yay for that. The mystery surrounding his father and Colt's upbringing is intriguing enough to continue the series for me.

Entertaining and I didn't guess the ending. I can see why it's popular.

I picked this book up after watching the first few episodes of the new series Tracker, which is based on this series. I mostly enjoyed it and will definitely continue on to the other books eventually, but it's definitely not something I could binge several books in a row. Deaver tells a great story, but often takes too long to do it and I generally find myself burning out by halfway through one of his books, and that was more or less the case here. It was a solid read, but one that felt a little drawn out by the end.
