The Watchman by Robert Crais
4.0
This is one of the better action novels that I've read. The set-up is a tad cliche - famous heiress on the run from bad guys; her only hope is the quiet, enigmatic badass assigned to protect her - but Crais nails it. Great mix of action, clever dialogue and story. Also, the characters turned out to have depth and complexity - always a treat.
This was my first Robert Crais novel and it turns out this is not the best place to start as it's actually the 11th Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novel. Knowing their backstory was not essential to enjoying this book (obviously), but I kinda feel like I missed something. Also, Elvis seems like a hoot. I'll probably go back and try their adventures from the beginning.
