![]() I've decided to stick with this series and hope for the best. ![]() Sandford made no one safe and that kept my interest going. The Robin Hood storyline was much more interesting to me than the Bekker one. I have no clue how a psychopath like him who was always high on so many things could even move, let alone plan and abduct anyone. I wasn't a fan of Bekker and in this one, he was even weirder. ![]() I like how he pieces things together and he always gets to surprise me with something. He does make me laugh and he's a true detective. He's still an arse but not a complete one.
