cnorbury 's review for:
The Wanted
by Robert Crais
I love reading good stories effortlessly told by masters of a genre. Robert Crais is a master. Maybe I enjoy his writing style because it resembles mine: tending toward sparse rather than wordy; lean and mean. But he also has created two iconic PIs--Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. A seamlessly integrated team that are both extremely competent but also flawed and with great moral character.
The plot of this book is also well conceived. It unrolls naturally and has enough-plot twists to keep you reading. Crais also adds in some realistic supporting characters--Devon and Tyson Conner; Amber, the airheaded girlfriend. and Harvey and Stemms, the bad guys who were chasing Tyson and Amber.
This is a genuine page-turner that immerses you into the story and setting in a few pages and takes you on an outstanding literary ride around Los Angeles.
