LOL<br />As for the book itself, you say it has excessive language and violence, and frankly, that's exactly what I like. :-) I think I might have to find this series, but book 1.fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-66788620737541212492016-04-08T21:24:11.064-07:002016-04-08T21:24:11.064-07:00More backstory next book?

It's actually the first book by Connelly that I read and the one that started me reading it. Pure luck too. I was camping and a guy a campsite or so over was also a reader. We swapped books that we'd finished and I was fortunate enough to get The Last Coyote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-65321641729445266272016-04-08T10:09:33.915-07:002016-04-08T10:09:33.915-07:00As I mentioned at Goodreads, I love this series. I...As I mentioned at Goodreads, I love this series. I am up to 2010 across all Connelly's series. I just checked the ratings I gave them and every single one is a five star with no exceptions. I'm pretty sure this is the only series I follow that has this distinction. Even the Preston/Child combo has let me down a number of times - but not Connelly! DagnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
