The Blonde Heiress
I enjoyed this story. The lead in as to how an ex L.A. detective turned to vigilantism was well thought out and made sense. Carter Johnson was never a man who stood back and let bad guys go free. The move to the no name group was a natural evolution for him. When the investigation into the charges against the Blond Heiress was a dead end, events arose that put Carter on a whole different path. Unfortunately, he chased the multiple murder suspect until he had eliminated all those who could testify against him. Then the vigilante took over. A good fast paced action filled read.
A must read!
Absolutely gripping story! How could it not be? The Blonde Heiress starts in a courtroom with Carter A. Johnson (interesting tidbit how he got his name) receiving an innocent verdict for murder and other charges, he resigns from the police force due to corruption amongst his peers, and he's offered a job with a secretive and elite group (with no name) who want him to carry out vigilante justice for those who have escaped through normal legal channels. Why did they choose him? Well, let's just say the idea of being a vigilante isn't offensive to him.
Now we jump into the current investigation, which creates a bit of a lull in the otherwise fast-paced story. Don't dispare though, just as things get a little quiet up pops an action scene. Oh yeah, this one fits all the criteria for any stereotypical action-loving guy. There are bullets flying, hot girls, car chasing, and a touch of murder just to keep it interesting.
Then the ending! Fantastic!
On a side note, for the more technical of you, there is quite a bit of punctuation issues, a few grammar mishaps, and a word here and there that don't fit as they should in the sentence. But honestly, who cares? It was a great read!
It's highly recommended for anyone that loves a good action packed book to get it!
