Under Pressure
by Sara Driscoll
It's good to spend some time with Meg and Hawk again, plus the beefy but brainy firefighter-slash-paramedic husband, the perfect boss, and their neighbors next door--friends, really--including the brilliant but foolhardy investigative reporter. I just wish this book had been a better time to spend in. To explain: the action scenes are very well written. So well, you want to speed through them quickly and then they're over and...there's not much else in the book. Although she tried to fluff it out with diamond harvesting quotes and long, long flashbacks including a dream sequence that seemed to go on forever, the overall plot was very shallow. And weak.
At the ending, I wanted to have the feeling: that was great, I want another! But instead, it was more like: that was good, but I wish it had been great.
So what to conclude? I love her stuff and recommend them all, but if this one disappoints you a little, don't give up. Go back and read the previous books in the series.
