The Wrong Hostage by Elizabeth Lowell
3.0
I hate books with two page chapters. They seem designed for reading on the beach or a plane, ESPECIALLY when the author breaks a chapter in the middle of a conversation for no good reason other than to maintain those pesky short chapters.
Otherwise, lots of action, good research and properly creepy, violent atmosphere. The characters occasionally swerved toward cliche. Please, a federal judge based in San Diego would not act naive about drug smuggling on the Mexican border. Too many "Oh, I can't believe that xxxx would do that" sentences pulled down the authenticity. The bad guys were comic book nasties. Hilarious.
More like a 2.5 but hey, it entertained me when I wasn't in a writing mood.
