This is another book from my "Reread Robert Crais" mini-project. My report on my original read is here. My rereading observations in no particular order:
If anything, I liked it better this time around.
My report notes that the cover has a silhouette of Maggie, a heroic German Shepard. That is no longer true for the Kindle version. There's a dog on the cover, but is that supposed to be a German Shepard? I don't think so.
Back then, I asserted that you may never read a more heartbreaking scene than the one that opens the book. That remains true twelve years later, even though I knew what was coming.
Another thing remains true is my 2013 observation: "Dogs: we don't really deserve them."
