Finding Gideon by Eric Jerome Dickey

3.0

So I was really excited to see that there was a 5th book in the Gideon series! It is perhaps my favorite body of work from EJD. For me Gideon was a refreshing series as it was a bit different from his typical work, and even though I was disappointed by the last book I tried to read by EJD (I can't even remember the name). There was some parts of Finding Gideon that was really good, and some parts that missed the mark. For example, a scene where Gideon is engaging in dialogue with a pedophile he's been contracted to kill (huh, what hitman does that?!) and the pedophile starts explaining WHY he's one. It came across as if readers were supposed to feel empathetic toward the pedophile which was really weird. I also don't like how there are still unanswered questions regarding Gideon's history. I was really hoping this would be the last book in the series, but it doesn't seem that way. I think it's time to put Gideon to rest. I fear the series will have a Game of Thrones type fail of an ending.
