Now THAT Is How You Do A Fucking Prologue! Seriously, I don't normally tweet out or contact the author when I'm reading a book. After *this* prologue, I immediately had to tweet out how awesome it is, particularly given the various discussions in Boolandia regarding how many readers skip prologues or don't enjoy them or whatever. I don't mind books that don't have them, but a well written one can really get a reader curious and/ or excited about the story, and this is one of the best written ones I've ever encountered.<br/><br/>Beyond the prologue, this is a tremendous tale, one that has been set in motion since the very beginning of this series - everything is now coming to a head, and Bennett and her team are about to be challenged like they've never been challenged before... and by the one person who terrifies Bennett more than any other. <br/><br/>Filled with pulse pounding action and intrigue, this is one of those mystery/ police procedural tales that really shows the true power of how great these particular types of stories can be - and yet, still, to get the full impact here, you really do need to begin at Book 1 and read through this point. Trust me, when you do you will absolutely devour this particular tale as well.<br/><br/>Overall a remarkably strong tale that could well serve as a series finale - or, equally, could simply serve as a trilogy conclusion and allow the series to continue on. I for one am very curious to see which direction Roberts (and possibly her publisher) will go there. Very much recommended.
