Edge

I love Jeffrey Deaver's books and was anticipating his new novel, "Edge." When I started it I felt like I was a dog circling to find it's perfect sleep spot. Round and round till I could flop down and get comfortable. Once there, it was great but it took a while. This wasn't one of his sequel. In this we meet Corte who works for one of those not talked about agencies in Washington, DC. Kind of a Lone Ranger type who rides into town and rescues the family in distress even before they're aware that they needed rescuing. There's a hit on the radar that an assassin that he's had dealings with before is back and it's up to him to find out who he's after and who has paid him to kill. He tracks down the family and sends them to a safe house and from there he has to figure out who in the family is the target and eliminate the threat. One of my contributing factors to getting through the book was that I've gotten used to reading a book straight through and I'm currently back at my old job and there's no chance to read except at lunch and that's crimped my style. Too many distractions!! I'm just filling in for a while and should be back to my new job in a couple of weeks when the dust has settled at the old one and they train two more replacements for the two new girls that have left or are leaving. What a disaster!
