The Watchman by Robert Crais
3.0
Robert Crais is a former TV writer who started writing crime drama and private sleuth tales featuring the duo of Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. Cole is witty and personable, Pike is not.
In The Watchman, Pike does a friend a favor by agreeing to bodyguard the Hiltonesque heiress Larkin Barkley, who was in an auto accident and is now the target of assassins. Pike finds himself unsure of who he can trust when it seems that every move he makes to safeguard Larkin is anticipated by those out to get her. Crais writes snappy dialogue, brisk action and keeps the pedal to the floor on his story.
A Crais novel is a quick read, but it's certainly a lot of fun and a great way to spend a few hours.
