colls 's review for:

The Stone Monkey by Jeffery Deaver
3.0

I liked the "case" part of the story involving illegal immigrants, human smuggling and an overall VERY. BAD. GUY.

I think perhaps the image of Chinese-Americans is somewhat inaccurate and a few characters seems to be too stereo-typical for my tastes. It's clear the author did some research and tries to impart that research - but it comes of as stuffy and like a lecture.

The developing relationship with Sachs and Rhymes seems forced as well.
