The plot, characters, and history continue to be well done, but this former nurse takes exception with some of the more dramatic recoveries. Some of the more notable references are to the Barnegat Light (how I miss Bernie Rhodenbarr), Secy of the Navy F. D. Roosevelt, and many more. Fast pace with lots of subplots and fascinating characters and situations. Loved it! Can't wait for the audio!
I requested and received an e-ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Putnam/G.P. Putnam's Sons via NetGalley. Thank you also to copyright holder Sandecker RLLLP for continuing to back this Series and all the others.
