3.0

Way too much going on with chicks on the side and John Lee suddenly lacking a lot of agency. Give me one romantic subplot, please. Also a lot of n-word cropping up that nobody ever gets called on, despite some lip service to social justice issues regarding race in the deep South. Some parts seemed extraneously detailed, maybe as a means of stretching out the story. Overall, not the worst book I've ever read, but that will be the only one of this series that I will ever read.
