I noticed that in the last couple of Dillion novels that he has become such a one dimensional and tired character. I didn't come into this book thinking that it would be that good in fact I thought it was going to be the same ole same ole Dillon novel(and in some ways it could be termed that) but one of the strongest things about this is the fact that Higgins doesn't overuse Dillon in this book as he does the other ones(I think he realized that Dillon is quite tired.)
We are introduced to a relatively new character in this book while not unique to the cast of characters(meaning its a typical Higgin's hero) a cold killer, but with some sense of decency and obviously a good guy, Harry Miller is a totally a breath of fresh air
I also say the plot is quite good in this one. I'd venture to say one of the best in the last few. Not a many threaded plot line and wraps up decently in the end with quite a good ending also. Without giving it away to much, Dillon really shines in the ending(more like the Dillon we used to know, at least when compared to the last few, they stopped being totally awesome when Bad Company came out, than they got kinda old and redundant, but this one is a step in the right direction I feel.
After reading many Higgins novels(40 some) his writing style has not changed(and is not expected to) and that can be a downside I guess. With many many reused phrasings and sayings
i.e he was more tired than he had ever been in his life or more excited than he had been in years
while not overly annoying by any means it can be somewhat redundant at times
so while this is not his best i can still recommend it better than the last that's for sure in fact I will even go as far to say that this is somewhat of a redeeming book for him like I said above a step in the right direction.
Give this one a chance and you might feel the same way as I. However to a newcomer to the series I suggest starting with the first few cause it goes without saying that those were the best Dillons' (as I like to call them)

The Good Daughter
I've been reading this series lately and although I enjoy them and like the characters inspite of their flaws ...
