liked this book, but found it very repetitive and difficult to stay with because of the topic of the mystery. I will try another in this series, but only if it it is easier.

For those who are interested in reading this because it's the basis for the TV Show The Finder, don't expect it to be at all similar. The main character has the same name and lives in a tropical location and hangs out at a bar, but that's it for the similarities.

Now that's done, let's discuss the book. It's centered around Walter Sherman, an Vietnam vet who has a knack for finding people/things. He's been hired to find a person who's been killing people associated with a company who sold E. Coli-tainted meat that caused many deaths.

We find out the identity of the killer pretty quick and the book goes through the viewpoints of several different characters including: the killer, Walter, the potential targets, and a reporter.

Having a person who is just someone who finds people makes for an interesting approach to what could otherwise be a relatively standard thriller. The characters, including a sympathetic villain, make it a better novel and the ending is different than one would expect.

Not sure how I feel about this book. Very well written and suspenseful. Complicated and intense. Dynamic and masterful. Not like any other book I have read. Very good book just not completely my style and parts of it were confusing to understand. Definitely got better as it went on.

Difficult to get into at first, but worth it. I admire authors who make readers work a bit to get it, it's much nicer than being slammed over the head with "meaning" and "Wow! Look what I did with words there!"
Their is new real mystery in the book, but the delight is in the full story slowly unfolding, while characters are developed more fully.
The new show, The Finder, is loosely based on these Walter Sherman books. I've enjoyed the show Bones, which was developed by the same people working on The Finder. I also enjoyed the books by Kathy Reichs that Bones is based one. So I figured that's two good reasons to give these books a shot. Glad I did.
I will certainly be looking for the next one.
