Great story and the ladt few chapters are dark and intense.  But it is a very slow book which takes a long time laying the foundations of the characters.

These books keep getting worse, and yet I’m unable to stop reading them. Thankfully I only have one left in the series, and then I can be done!

A bit repetitive of the previous two books, I still did enjoy Joe’s latest adventures - especially as we entered its final pages. I have to say it got a little too unbelievable towards the end and wrapped up a little quickly, but the characters are ever so compelling and the circumstances intriguing.
